Abstract

The axial-vector current of Dirac-Kähler fermions on the lattice is studied. We consider a U(1) gauge theory in two dimensions as well as an SU( N) gauge theory in four dimensions. Using a short-distance expansion of the fermion propagator in an external gauge field, we show that the correct anomaly is reproduced in the continuum limit.
