Description

Chiral and conformal anomalies are studied by means of a path-integral derivation which uses dimensional regularization. The path-integral measure is shown to be invariant under chiral and conformal transformations. Conformal and scale anomalies are shown to be identical at the one-loop level in four dimensions
