Abstract: (Springer)

We show that the Nielsen-Schroer analysis of the chiral anomaly and the Atiyah-Singer index theorem can be readily generalised to include temperature and higher dimensions. Our method depends on the introduction of an antiperiodic δ function suitable for fermions in a heat bath.

anomaly: chiral
index theorem
finite temperature
operator: Dirac
gauge field theory: higher-dimensional
