Anomalies in quantum field theories

Introduction:purpose: Noether s theorem connects symmetry of the Lagrangian to conserved quantities. Quantum effects cancel the conserved quantities. Methods: Triangle diagram, Path integral, Pauli-Villars regularisation. Results: Quantum effects that spoil conserved quantities of local gauge symmetries endager renormalisability. Conclusion: A careful treatment of anomalies is needed in order to obtain correct results. The p 0 → gg decay is perhaps the most notable impossible effect allowed by anomalies.
