	Anomaly (physics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Any quantum anomaly can be considered to be a short-distance effect (an ultraviolet effect, in the language of quantum field theory), since it arises during the process of renormalization, when some divergent integrals cannot be regularized in such a way that all the symmetries are preserved simultaneously.
		Anomalies in global symmetries pose no problems in a quantum field theory, and are often encountered (see the example of the chiral anomaly).
		Anomalies in gauge theories have important connections to the topology and geometry of the gauge group.

	Chiral (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Chiral anomaly is the anomalous nonconservation of charge in a quantized theory of chiral fermions coupled to a background gauge field.
		Chiral molecules are sometimes referred to as being "dissymmetric"; chirality and dissymmetry being one in the same.
		Chirality is of critical importance in chemistry and unites the traditionally-defined subdisciplines of inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry and physical chemistry.

		) chiral flavour symmetry of the QCD Lagrangian is broken in the vacuum state of the theory.
		The actual masses of these mesons are obtained in chiral perturbation theory through an expansion in the (small) actual masses of the quarks.
		Prototypically, the baryon number of the chiral bag remains an integer, independent of bag radius: the exterior baryon number is identified with the topological winding number density of the Skyrme soliton, while the interior baryon number consists of the valence quarks (totaling to one) plus the spectral asymmetry of the quark eigenstates in the bag.

		Chiral oscillation.\ } Let $\torus=(a\integer/L\integer)^d$ be a discrete torus with period $L$ and lattice spacing $a$, where $L/a$ is a positive integer.
		There, the chiral oscillation is controlled by introducing an additional heat-kernel regularization, with which the operator in question lies in the trace class, and the continuum limit can be taken without explicit cancellation of chiral oscillation.
		In Section 3, we derive the expression of chiral anomaly in the form of chiral oscillation.

	Re: Chiral anomaly from string theory
		Anomalies come in many > different forms, and just because string theory handles some > anomalies (beautifully, in the case of the conformal anomaly), it > does not necessarily mean that it can handle the chiral anomaly.
		The existence of the anomaly constrains the form that the effective superpotential may take (this is the Veneziano-Yankielowicz superpotential, see [VY] 1982).
		The reproduction of N=1 field theory anomalies from string theory was one of the results of the "Dijgraaf-Vafa" research program (not the most surprising, though): see hep-th/0211170 and hep-th/0211017 for explanations of how the string theory and field theory calculations relate.

		Anomalies in local symmetries are bad (like the conformal symmetry on the worldsheet).
		The cancellation of these anomalies in the supergravity limits of string theory was what really got people started on string theory back in the 80s.
		The anomaly is then seen as a something funky in the geometry.

		This includes axial anomaly, vacuum polarization, zero-charge effect, fermionic charge of the vacuum, baryogenesis, event horizon, vacuum instability, Hawking radiation, etc. Analogs of some of these phenomena, which are related to the axial anomaly, have been experimentally simulated in superfluid 3He.
		The splitting of the spectrum of the electronic bound states in the vortex core with broken parity and axisymmetry is dicussed using (i) the phenomenological approach, and (ii) the simple model, in which the vortex core is represented by the vortex sheet of the radius R much larger than the coherence length.
		We discuss the modelling of this phenomenon in superfluid 3He and superconductors where the chiral anomaly is realized in the presence of quantized vortex, which introduces the nodes in the energy spectrum of the fermionic quasiparticles.

		Understanding anomalies in quantum field theory in relation to the cohomology theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras (in particular in the infinite-dimensional case), the geometry of the space of gauge fields modulo gauge transformations, and the Atiyah-Singer index theorems.
		Anomalies were discovered in 1968 in the context of perturbative quantum field theory and renormalization.
		The presence of an anomaly indicates that classical conservation laws no longer hold in quantum theory, and although this phenomenon was discovered in the context of quantum field theory it may occur in quantum mechanics as well.

	UVa Physics - Nuclear Physics Seminar History
		Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) is an effective field theory in which the spontaneous breaking of the Quantum Chromodynamic (QCD) chiral symmetry is exploited to make predictions for many low-energy processes.
		Because of the small mass of the pion, the prediction of the chiral anomaly for the pi-zero To gamma - gamma decay width is more accurate and exact in the limit of massless quarks.
		After giving a general overview of chiral symmetry breaking and the appearance of the chiral anomaly at low energies,this talk will present previous measurements and focus on the current experiment at JLab.

		Later, in this framework a model for the pairing mechanism of high Tc superconductivity was proposed and it was shown that it is of magnetic origin.

		This anomaly is due to the fluid viscosity.

	atdotde: The Others
		Now, Smolin mentioned two possible "solutions": First, the chiral anomaly as we compute it is found perturbatively (it's a one loop effect and it was shown not to be corrected at higher loop orders).
		This response of course is very weak, as the chiral anomaly seems to be an extremely robust property of IR physics and you can as well geometrically express it in terms of a mismatch of bundles.
		One example that comes to my mind is M-Theory on G2 manifolds with singularities where anomaly cancelation tells us about the non-perturbative existence of non-abelian gauge groups (which of course have to be there to make contact with the IIA situation with intersecting D6 branes).

		The Primakoff Effect The axial anomaly is one of the most profound and fundamental examples of spontaneous symmetry breaking in quantum mechanics.
		The axial anomaly arises from the coupling of quarks and gluons to the U(1) symmetry of the classical Lagrangian in QCD in the chiral limit where quark masses approach zero.
		This value for the decay width predicted by the anomaly is in good agreement with the Particle Data Group Average.

		the propagator is chirally invariant at all non-zero distances.
		What all this means is that the correct chiral physics can be obtained from a lattice theory, provided one is able to find a solution to the Ginsparg-Wilson relation.
		In the end, one is left with 4 degenerate quark flavours, usually referred to as "tastes" to distinguish them from physical quark flavours, with the added bonus of retaining a remnant of chiral symmetry that forbids the generation of an additive mass renormalisation.

		If electroweak symmetry breaking is a consequence of color sextet quark chiral symmetry breaking, dramatic, large cross-section, effects are to be expected at the LHC --- with the pomeron playing a prominent role.
		The symmetry breaking is tied to a special solution of QCD which can be constructed, at high-energy, via the chiral anomaly and reggeon diagrams.
		There is confinement and chiral symmetry breaking, but physical states contain both quarks and a universal, anomalous, wee gluon component.

		There is a second type of anomaly that involves the coupling of the quarks to the photon field, being directly responsible for the decays of these three mesons into photon pairs.

		Probably it is, but Roman Jackiw, co-discoverer of the axial chiral anomaly with Bell and Adler, spoke at Imperial College yesterday about an alternative and elegant method to generate a 4-dimensional mass term.
		In particular he highlighted that the field acquires a mass due to the presence of a chiral anomaly in the axial vector current and leads to a massive pseudoscalar; the pseudoscalar being dual to the two-index field strength as well as being proportional to the divergence of the axial vector current.
		However on the positive side the specific contribution needed for the anomaly appears in the expansion of the Born-Infeld action to quadratic terms.

		For the two flavour model, the chiral anomaly appears only in the singlet, so the singlet remains massiv even in the chiral limit, where as the triplet becomes massless.
		This anomaly term, at least as you have it in 4d, is not gauge invariant.
