Abstract

We report on the investigation of possible ambiguities involved in calculating the second-order correction to the axial-vector anomaly. The testing ground is finite-mass quantum electrodynamics where the anomaly is defined using Pauli-Villars regularization. The result supports Adler's previous conclusion that there exist no such corrections. Furthermore, the mass renormalization is explicitly shown to be consistent in this order.
