Perturbative and Non-Pertrubative Trace Anomalies

We study the definition of trace anomalies for models of Dirac and Weyl fermions coupled to a metric and a gauge potential. While in the non-perturbative case the trace anomaly is the response of the effective action to a Weyl transformation, the definition in a perturbative approach is more involve...
