Infinite-dimensional groups and algebras motivated by physics, including Virasoro, Kac-Moody, (W)-algebras and other current algebras and their representations (81R10) Yang-Mills and other gauge theories in quantum field theory (81T13) Anomalies in quantum field theory (81T50) Electromagnetic interaction; quantum electrodynamics (81V10) Transport processes in time-dependent statistical mechanics (82C70)

Abstract: The anomalous term $simmathbfEB$ in the balance of the chiral density can be rewritten as quantum current in the classical balance of density. Therefore it does not violate classical conservation laws as it is claimed to be caused by quantum fluctuations.
