Chiral photon current and its anomaly in a gravitational field
Description
The concept of chirality which is conserved in the interaction with a gravitational field is formulated for an electromagnetic field. The corresponding current is a one-particle analog of the Pauli-Lubanski vector. An anomaly in the divergence of the current in an external gravitational field is found. The result is used to determine the electromagnetic radiative correction to the chiral anomaly of a fermion in a gravitational field
