Abstract
Ever since the discovery of current anomalies there have been important applications of this idea to various problems of physical interest: It led to a precise calculation of the neutral pion decay (global axial anomaly) and to an understanding of the U(1) problem: the nonexistence of the ninth Goldstone boson associated with a broken symmetry of quantum chromodynamics [1].
