Description

A general algorithm for the construction of gravitational axial and conformal anomalies for fields of arbitrary spin is presented. A variety of models is then displayed in which one or both of the anomalies vanish by cancellation. The results are compared (and in the spin 3/2 case, contrasted) with previous calculations.
