I study variations of the fermionic determinant for a nonabelian Dirac fermion with external vector and axial vector sources. I consider different regularizations, leading to different chiral anomalies when the variations are chiral…
Chiral defect fermions in the background of an external, $2n$ dimensional gauge field are considered. Assuming first a finite extra dimension, we calculate the axial anomaly in a vector-like, gauge invariant model for arbitrary $n$, and the…

Normality and $\ga$-hermiticity are what gives rise to chiral properties and rules. The Ginsparg-Wilson (GW) relation is only one of the possible spectral constraints. The sum rule for chiral differences of real modes has important…
The quantization of the chiral Schwinger model $(\chi QED_{2})$ with one-parameter class Faddeevian regularization is hampered by the chiral anomaly, i.e., the Gauss law commutator exhibits Faddeev's anomaly. To overcome this kind of…
From the irreducible decompositions' point of view, the structure of the cyclic $GL_n$-module generated by the $\alpha$-determinant degenerates when $\alpha=\pm \frac1k (1\leq k\leq n-1)$. In this paper, we show that $-\frac1k$-determinant…
