Abstract
The vacuum polarization by external gauge fields of conformally invariant quantum field systems is shown to manifest a new, non-local, type of trace anomaly when gauge-invariant dimensional regularisation is used. Examples include neutrino and photon loops in a background metric gravitational field and charged massles fermion loops in background metric and electromagnetic fields.
