Abstract

We consider one-loop divergences in a four-dimensional model in which a non-Abelian vector field has an axial vector coupling with a massless left-handed spinor field. This is done by computing the diagonal element of the second Seeley–deWitt coefficient a2(x,x). Even when the coupling is such that the axial anomaly vanishes, divergences arise that are not gauge invariant. Operator regularization is used throughout so as to leave the matrix γ5unambiguously defined. PACS No.: 11.15.q
