In the Standard Model of particle physics, the axial current is not conserved, due both to fermion masses and to the axial anomaly. Using perturbative quantum chromodynamics, we calculate matrix elements of the local and non-local axial…
In this report, I discuss the current state of the problem of the axial anomaly in quantum electrodynamics (QED) and quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and how the axial anomaly is related to the structure of the vacuum in QCD. In QCD, the vacuum…
Imposing the conservation equation of the vector current for a fermion of spin $\frac{1}{2}$ at the quantum level, a gauge anomaly for the fermion coupling with non-Abelian vector and axial--vector fields in six--dimensional curved space is…
We derive an inequality for the distribution of quarks with non-zero orbital angular momentum, and thus demonstrate, in a model-independent way, that a non-vanishing anomalous magnetic moment requires both a non-zero size of the target as…
The triangle anomaly in massless and massive QED is investigated by adopting the symmetry-preserving loop regularization method proposed recently in \cite{LR}. The method is realized in the initial dimension of theory without modifying the…
We use the 2-dimensional $\sigma$ model as a toy model to study the behavior of anomalous amplitudes in the limit where the constituent quark mass is small. Symmetry arguments tell that the $\pi^o\to\gamma$ amplitude should vanish if $m\to…
Anomalous triangle graphs for the divergence of the axial-vector current are studied using the dispersive approach generalized for the case of higher orders of perturbation theory. The validity of this procedure is proved up to two-loop…
The turbulent energy flux through scales, $\bar{\epsilon}$, remains constant and non vanishing in the limit of zero viscosity, which results in the fundamental anomaly of time irreversibility. It was considered straightforward to deduce…
We consider classical steady water waves with a free surface, a flat bottom and constant vorticity $\gamma$. In the adverse case $\gamma>0$ we prove that there is an absolute upper bound on the amplitude, independent of the physical…
The conservation of the vector current and the axial anomaly responsible for the $\pi_0 \to \gamma \gamma$ decay amplitude are obtained in leading order within the Taylor-Lagrange formulation of fields considered as operator-valued…
We show that the spectrum of orbital angular momentum in quantum mechanics consists of two parts when the underlying space has periodic boundaries. While the first part consists of the usual textbook integer quantized values, the second is…
We generalize the dispersive approach to axial anomaly by A.D. Dolgov and V.I. Zakharov to a non-Abelian case with arbitrary photon virtualites. We derive the anomaly sum rule for the singlet current and obtain the…
An explicit expression for continuum annulus amplitudes having boundary lengths $\ell_{1}$ and $\ell_{2}$ is obtained from the two-matrix model for the case of the unitary series; $(p,q) = (m + 1, m)$. In the limit of vanishing cosmological…
Statistical average of the axial current is evaluated on the basis of the covariant Wigner function. In the resulting formula, chemical potential $\mu$, angular velocity $\Omega$ and acceleration $a$ enter in combination $\mu \pm (\Omega…
We consider classical and quantum dynamics on potentials that are asymptotically unbounded from below. By explicit construction we find that quantum bound states can exist in certain bottomless potentials. The classical dynamics in these…
Anomalous quark triangles with one axial and two vector currents are studied in special kinematics when one of the vector currents carries a soft momentum. According to the Adler-Bardeen theorem the anomalous longitudinal part of the…
In the anomaly equation for the singlet axial current the chiral limit of the quark mass term does not vanish but comprises contribution from fermion zero modes whose integral exactly cancels the topological charge arising from the…

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…
