Abstract: (APS)
An exact derivation of the anomalous Ward-Takahashi identities on a finite lattice is given. It is shown in a general way that the contribution from the fermion-degeneracy regularization in the limit leads to the continuum form of the anomaly term. Thus the interconnection is established independently of perturbation theory.
