We consider the problem of removing the divergences in an arbitrary gauge-field theory (possibly nonrenormalizable). We show that this can be achieved by performing, order by order in the loop expansion, a redefinition of some parameters…
Many meson processes are related to the U_A(1) axial anomaly, present in the Feynman graphs where fermion loops connect axial vertices with vector vertices. However, the coupling of pseudoscalar mesons to quarks does not have to be…
The induced axial current and the chiral anomaly are studied in the normal phase of magnetized relativistic matter. A special attention is paid to the role of the chiral shift parameter Delta, leading to a relative shift of the longitudinal…

We discuss both the UV and IR origin of the one-loop triangle gauge anomalies for noncommutative nonabelian chiral gauge theories with fundamental, adjoint and bi-fundamental fermions for U(N) groups. We find that gauge anomalies only come…
A method for removing fermion doublers in anomaly free chiral gauge theories on the lattice is proposed. It is proven that the resulting continuum theory is gauge invariant and does not require noninvariant counterterms of fine tuning of…
This is an article which intends to shake down the traditional belief that the celebrated Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomaly stems from the chiral rotation non-invariance of the fermionic measure. The fermionic functional integration measure in…
In the framework of perturbation theory, it is possible to put chiral gauge theories on the lattice without violating the gauge symmetry or other fundamental principles, provided the fermion representation of the gauge group is…
Weyl fermions are two-component chiral fermions in (3+1)-dimensions. When coupled to a gauge field, the Weyl fermion is known to have an axial anomaly, which means the current conservation of the left-handed and right-handed Weyl fermions…
We derive the interaction of fermions with a dynamical space-time based on the postulate that the description of physics should be independent of the reference frame, which means to require the form-invariance of the fermion action under…
Dynamical nature of the gauge degree of freedom and its effect to fermion spectrum are studied for four-dimensional nonabelian chiral gauge theory in the vacuum overlap formulation. The covariant gauge fixing term and the Faddeev-Popov…
We consider anomaly free combinations of chiral fermions coupled to $U(1)$ gauge fields on a 2D torus first in the continuum and then on the lattice in the overlap formulation. Both in the continuum and on the lattice, when the background…
The scattering of electrically charged fermions on magnetic monopole leads to the Callan-Rubakov problem. We discuss some aspects of this problem for Abelian gauge theories with chiral fermions in a Dirac monopole background. In some cases,…
We consider the chiral anomaly for systems with a wide class of Hermitian Dirac operators ${Q}$ in 4D Euclidean spacetime. We suppose that $ Q$ is not necessarily linear in derivatives and also that it contains a coordinate inhomogeneity…
