Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

It is shown that the axial QED anomaly can be consistently calculated in the light-cone gauge and that the result is independent of the prescription used to treat the light-cone singularities; it is found that a prescription is not even necessary. The relation between the results obtained from the two-component and the four-component formulations of the light-cone gauge is discussed.
