We calculate the trace anomaly of a Weyl fermion coupled to gravity by using Fujikawa's method supplemented by the choice of a consistent regulator. The latter is constructed out of Pauli-Villars regulating fields. The motivation for…
This thesis reviews minimal N=2 chiral supergravities coupled to matter in six dimensions with emphasis on anomaly cancellation. In general, six-dimensional chiral supergravities suffer from gravitational, gauge and mixed anomalies which…
The global chiral symmetry of a $SU(2)$ gauge theory is studied in the framework of renormalization group (RG). The theory is defined by the RG flow equations in the infrared cutoff $\L$ and the boundary conditions for the relevant…
We re-examine the historically important decay of the neutral pion into two photons. Schwinger's Equivalence Theorem is confirmed. We then consider radiative corrections to the famous Adler-Bell-Jackiw (ABJ) anomaly. The result depends…

We calculate the chiral anomaly in the neighbourhood of the fixed point space M_h which is constructed by the group action of a discrete symmetry h on a compact manifold M. The Feynman diagrams approach for the corresponding supersymmetric…
In this work we study the cancellation of non-perturbative anomalies of gravitational theories with gauge group $\mathbb{Z}_k$ in six dimensions. These subtle anomalies require a classification of deformation classes of manifolds with…
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…
An implicit four dimensional regularization is applied to calculate the axial-vector-vector anomalous amplitude. The present technique always complies with results of Dimensional Regularization and can be easily applied to processes…
The standard model accommodates, but does not explain, three families of leptons and quarks, while various extensions suggest extra matter families. The oblique corrections from extra chiral families with relatively light (weak-scale)…
We consider N Dirac fermions on a 4-dimensional Euclidean space with a quadratic interaction given by arbitrary external Clifford-valued fields. The divergence of the axial current satisfies on the classical level a relation that is…
Robinson and Wilczek suggested a new method of deriving Hawking radiation by the consideration of anomalies. The basic idea of their approach is that the flux of Hawking radiation is determined by anomaly cancellation conditions in the…
The existence of a CPT anomaly is established for a particular four-dimensional Abelian lattice gauge theory with Ginsparg-Wilson fermions.
I discuss how instanton effects can be wiped-out due to the existence of anomalies. I first consider Compact Quantum Electrodynamics in 3 dimensions where confinement of electric charge is destroyed when fermions are added so that a…
Chiral perturbation theory in the anomaly sector for $N_f=2$ is extended to include dynamical photons, thereby allowing a complete treatment of isospin breaking. A minimal set of independent chiral lagrangian terms is determined and the…
Through this article, we show that the amplitudes for the $b\bar{b} \rightarrow ZH$ in the presence of bottom-Higgs Yukawa coupling can be constructed, up to a few anomalous diagrams, solely from a set of vector form factors of properly…
We use methods of arithmetic geometry to find solutions to the abelian local anomaly cancellation equations for a four-dimensional gauge theory whose Lie algebra has a single $\mathfrak{u}_1$ summand, assuming that a non-trivial solution…
We complete our study of non-Abelian gauge theories in the framework of Epstein-Glaser approach to renormalization theory including in the model an arbitrary number of Dirac Fermions. We consider the consistency of the model up to the third…

Many extensions of the Standard Model include an extra gauge boson, whose couplings to fermions are constrained by the requirement that anomalies cancel. We find a general solution to the resulting diophantine equations in the plausible…
