Description
The authors discuss the modification in the axial anomaly relation due to boundary effects. The surface effects are related to the generalized index theorem of Atiyah, Patodi and Singer. As an illustration the authors solve Hawking's problem of the Euclidean Dirac operator in a Riemann metric of Taub-NUT type. (Auth.)
