In physics, a '''chiral anomaly''' is the [[anomaly (physics)|anomalous]] [[nonconservation]] of a [[chirality (physics)|chiral]] current.  In some theories of [[fermion]]s with [[chiral symmetry]], the [[Quantization (physics)|quantization]] may lead to the breaking of this (global) chiral symmetry.  In that case, the charge associated with the chiral symmetry is not conserved.

The non-conservation happens in a [[Quantum tunneling|tunneling]] process from one [[Vacuum#Quantum-mechanical_definition|vacuum]] to another. Such a process is called an [[instanton]].
In the case of a symmetry related to the conservation of a fermionic [[particle number]], one may understand the creation of such particles as follows. The definition of a particle is different in the two vacuum states between which the tunneling occurs; therefore a state of no particles in one vacuum corresponds to a state with some particles in the other vacuum.
 
In particular, there is a [[Dirac sea]] of fermions and, when such a tunneling happens, it causes the [[energy level]]s of the sea fermions to gradually shift upwards for the particles and downwards for the anti-particles, or vice versa. This means particles which once belonged to the Dirac sea become real (positive energy) particles and particle creation happens.
 
Technically, an anomalous symmetry is a symmetry of the [[action (physics)|action]] <math>\mathcal A</math>, but not of the [[measure (physics)|measure]] <math>\,\mu</math>, and  therefore ''not'' of the [[partition function (quantum field theory)|generating functional]] <math>\mathcal Z=\int {d \mu\,\exp (i \mathcal A/\hbar)}</math> of the quantized theory (<math>\hbar</math> is Planck's action-quantum divided by <math>2\pi</math>). The measure consists of a part depending of the fermion field <math>\! d\psi</math> and a part depending on its complex conjugate <math>d\bar{\psi}</math>. The transformations of both parts under a chiral symmetry do not cancel in general. Note that if <math>\! \psi</math> is a [[Dirac fermion]], then the chiral symmetry can be written as <math>\psi \rightarrow e^{i \alpha \gamma^5}\psi</math> where <math>\! \alpha</math> is some matrix acting on <math>\! \psi</math>.
 
From the formula for <math>\mathcal Z</math> one also sees explicitly that in the classical limit, <math>\hbar \to 0,</math> anomalies don't come into play, since in this limit only the extrema of <math>\mathcal A</math> are relevant.
 
The anomaly is in fact proportional to the instanton number of a gauge field to which the fermions are coupled (note that the gauge symmetry is always non-anomalous and is exactly respected, as is required by the consistency of the theory).
 
==Calculation==
The chiral anomaly can be calculated exactly by [[one-loop Feynman diagram]]s, e.g. the famous "triangle diagram", contributing to the [[pion]] decays, <math>\pi^0 \to\gamma\gamma</math> and <math>\pi^0\to e^+e^-\gamma</math>.
 
The amplitute for this process can be calculated directly from the change in the [[measure (physics)|measure]] of the fermionic fields under the chiral transformation.
 
Wess and Zumino developed a set of conditions on how the [[Partition function (quantum field theory)|partition function]] ought to behave under [[gauge transformation]]s called the [[Wess-Zumino consistency conditions]].
 
Fujikawa derived this anomaly using the correspondence between [[functional determinant]]s and the [[Partition function (quantum field theory)|partition function]] using the [[Atiyah-Singer index theorem]]. See [[Fujikawa's method]].
 
==An example: baryonic charge non-conservation==
The Standard Model of [[electroweak]] interactions has all the necessary ingredients for successful [[baryogenesis]]. Beyond the violation of [[charge conjugation]] <math>C</math> and [[CP violation]] <math>CP</math> (charge+parity), baryonic charge violation appears through the Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomaly of the  <math>U(1)</math> group.
 
Baryons are not conserved by the usual electroweak interactions due to quantum chiral anomaly. The classic electroweak [[Lagrangian]] conserves [[baryon]]ic charge. Quarks always enter in bilinear combinations <math>q\bar q</math>, so that a quark can disappear only in collision with an antiquark. In other words, the classical baryonic current <math>J_\mu^B</math> is conserved:
 
:<math>\partial^\mu J_\mu^B = \sum_j \partial^\mu(\bar q_j \gamma_\mu q_j) = 0. </math>
 
However, quantum corrections destroy this conservation law and instead of zero in the right hand side of this equation, one gets
 
:<math>\partial^\mu J_\mu^B = \frac{g^2 C}{16\pi^2} G^{\mu\nu a} \tilde{G}_{\mu\nu}^a,</math>
 
where <math>C</math> is a numerical constant,
 
:<math>\tilde{G}_{\mu\nu}^a = \frac{1}{2} \epsilon_{\mu\nu\alpha\beta} G^{\alpha\beta a},</math>
 
and the gauge field strength <math>G_{\mu\nu}^a</math> is given by the expression
 
:<math>G_{\mu\nu}^a = \partial_\mu A_\nu^a - \partial_\nu A_\mu^a + g f^{a}_{bc} A_\mu^b A_\nu^c. </math>
 
An important fact is that the anomalous current non-conservation is proportional to the total derivative of a vector operator, <math>G^{\mu\nu a}\tilde{G}_{\mu\nu}^a = \partial^\mu K_\mu</math> (this is non-vanishing due to [[instanton]] configurations of the gauge field, which are pure gauge at the infinity), where the anomalous current <math>K_\mu</math> is:
 
:<math>K_\mu = 2\epsilon_{\mu\nu\alpha\beta} \left( A^{\nu a} \partial^\alpha A^{\beta a} + \frac{1}{3} f^{abc} A^{\nu a} A^{\alpha b} A^{\beta c} \right),</math>
 
which is the [[Hodge star|Hodge dual]] of the [[Chern-Simons]] 3-form.

If your computer is running slow, you have possibly gone by the different stages of rage plus frustration. Having such a superb tool like a computer can appear like a curse plus a blessing simultaneously when this happens. It is great whenever it happens to be running quickly plus smooth, however then once it starts acting weird plus slows technique down, frustration sets in. How could anything as beautiful because a computer create a individual so mad?

You will discover which there are registry products which are free plus those that we will have to pay a nominal sum for. Some registry products provide a bare bones program for free with the choice of upgrading to a more advanced, efficient adaptation of the same program.

StreamCI.dll is a file chosen by the default Windows Audio driver to aid process the numerous sound settings on your system. Although this file is one of the most crucial on countless different Windows systems, StreamCI.dll is continually causing a lot of errors which should be repaired. The advantageous news is the fact that you can fix this error by utilizing several convenient to work procedures which can solve all the possible problems that are causing the error to show on a PC.

Your computer was quite fast when we initially purchased it. Because your registry was especially clean and without errors. After time, the computer starts to run slow plus freezes up now and then. Because there are mistakes accumulating inside it and several info is rewritten or completely deleted by a wrong uninstall of programs, improper operations, malware or other points. That is the reason why your computer performance decreases gradually plus become quite unstable.

After that, I furthermore bought the Regtool tuneup utilities Software, plus it further protected my laptop having program crashes. All my registry difficulties are fixed, plus I will work peacefully.

Software errors or hardware errors which happen when running Windows plus intermittent mistakes are the general reasons for a blue screen bodily memory dump. New software or drivers which have been installed or changes inside the registry settings are the typical s/w causes. Intermittent mistakes refer to failed system memory/ difficult disk or over heated processor plus these too may result the blue screen physical memory dump error.

You require a choice to automatically delete unwanted registry keys. This might help save you hours of laborious checking from your registry keys. Automatic deletion is a key element when we compare registry products.

By changing the means we employ the internet you are able to have access more of the precious bandwidth. This might ultimately provide we a quicker surfing experience. Here is a link to 3 methods to personalize a PC speed on the net.
