Chiral Anomaly at Infinite Temperature

preprint1994arXivOpen access

Abstract

Using the heat kernel regularization we show that the Abelian chiral anomaly in the limit of infinite temperature it is not a well defined quantity, contrary to what happens at any finite temperature. We show that there is an ambiguity in the ordering of the limits of infinite temperature and removal of the cut-off so that changing this ordering we find different results for the chiral anomaly. We discuss these cases and their possible interpretation.
