Abstract
In continuum physics, there are important topological aspects like instantons, theta-terms and the axial anomaly. Conventional lattice discretizations often have difficulties in treating one or the other of these aspects. In this paper, we develop discrete quantum field theories on fuzzy manifolds using noncommutative geometry. Basing ourselves on previous treatments of instantons and chiral fermions (without fermion doubling) on fuzzy spaces and especially fuzzy spheres, we present discrete representations of theta-terms and topological susceptibility for gauge theories and derive axial anomaly on the fuzzy sphere. Our gauge field action for four dimensions is bounded by the modulus of the instanton number as in the continuum.

Path Integral Measure for Gauge Invariant Fermion Theories

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the path-integral measure for gauge-invariant fermion theories is not invariant under the ε-ensuremath{gamma{5}$ transformation and the Jacobian gives rise to an extra phase factor corresponding to the Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomaly.
