Abstract: It is known that the elimination of the anomalies in all orders of perturbation theory is an open problem. The constrains given by usual invariance properties and the Wess-Zumino identities are not enough to eliminate the anomalies in the general case of an Yang-Mills theory. So, any new symmetry of the model could restrict further the anomalies and be a solution of the problem. We consider the anti-BRST transform of Ojima in the causal approach and investigate if such new restrictions are obtained. Unfortunately, the result is negative: if we have BRST invariance up to the second order of the perturbation theory, we also have anti-BRST invariance up to the same order. Probably, this result is true in all orders of the perturbation theory. So, anti-BRST transform gives nothing new, and we have to find other ideas to restrict and eventually eliminate the anomalies for a general Yang-Mills theory.
