Explicit Results for the Anomalous Three Point Function and Non-Renormalization Theorems

Abstract

Two-loop corrections for the <VVA> correlator of the singlet axial and vector currents in QCD are calculated in the chiral limit for arbitrary momenta. Explicit calculations confirm the non-renormalization theorems derived recently by Vainshtein and Knecht et.al. We find that as in the one-loop case also at the two loops the <VVA> correlator has only 3 independent form-factors instead of 4. From the explicit results we observe that the two-loop correction to the correlator is equal to the one-loop result times the constant factor C_2(R) alpha_s/pi in the MSbar scheme. This holds for the full correlator, for the anomalous longitudinal as well as for the non- anomalous thansversal amplitudes. The finite overall alpha_s dependent constant has to be normalized away by renormalizing the axial current according to Witten's algebraic/geometrical constraint on the anomalous Ward identity. Our observations, together with known facts, suggest that in perturbation theory the <VVA> correlator is proportional to the one-loop term to all orders and that the non- renormalization theorem of the Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomaly carries over to the full correlator.
