Chiral fermions, dimensional regularization, and the trace anomaly

We investigate the trace anomaly of a chiral fermion in dimensional regularization, considering in detail the simplest case of coupling to an abelian gauge field. We apply the Breitenlohner-Maison/'t Hooft-Veltman prescription for dealing with the chiral matrix γ5 and verify that no parity-odd...
