Description

Gauge theory and anomalies which arise under quantization of these theories are formulated using differential geometric methods. The Wess–Zumino conditions are developed and some other relevant geometric properties of anomalies are mentioned. An elementary derivation of the non-Abelian anomaly in 2n dimensions is presented using this formalism. (author)
