Trace anomaly for Weyl fermions using the Breitenlohner-Maison scheme for γ *

Abstract We revisit the computation of the trace anomaly for Weyl fermions using dimensional regularization. For a consistent treatment of the chiral gamma matrix γ * in dimensional regularization, we work in n dimensions from the very beginning and use the Breitenlohner-Maison scheme to define γ *....
