It is shown that the local axial anomaly in $2-$dimensions emerges naturally if one postulates an underlying noncommutative fuzzy structure of spacetime . In particular the Dirac-Ginsparg-Wilson relation on ${\bf S}^2_F$ is shown to contain…

By completing the old discussion of K.~Wilson, we express the chiral anomaly in terms of a double integral of a three-point function of chiral currents over an arbitrarily small region in the coordinate space. An integrability condition…

We reinvestigate the classic example of the chiral anomaly in (1+1) dimensional spacetime. By reviewing the derivation of charge conservation using the semiclassical Boltzmann equation, we show that chiral anomalies could emerge in (1+1)…
We consider a modified gravity model which we call "dynamical Henneaux-Teitelboim gravity" because of its close relationship with the Henneaux-Teitelboim formulation of unimodular gravity. The latter is a fully diffeomorphism-invariant…
