Anomalies Dismissed of Ambiguities and the Neutral Pion Decay

Abstract

The correlation between the neutral electromagnetic pion decay, the Sutherland-Veltman paradox and the $AVV$ triangle anomaly phenomenon is discussed within the framework of an alternative strategy to handle the divergences involved in the perturbative evaluation of the associated physical amplitudes. We show that the general characteristic of the adopted strategy allows us to recover the traditional treatment for the problem as well as allows us to construct an alternative way to look at the problem where the ambiguities play no relevant role.
