Abstract

The consistent form of the gauge anomaly is worked out at first order in for the noncommutative three-point function of the ordinary gauge field of certain noncommutative chiral gauge theories defined by means of the Seiberg-Witten map. We obtain that for any compact simple Lie group the anomaly cancellation condition of this three-point function reads $\traza \T^a \T^b \T^c = 0$, if one restricts the type of noncommutative counterterms that can be added to the classical action to restore the gauge symmetry to those which are renormalizable by power-counting. On the other hand, if the power-counting remormalizability paradigm is relinquished and one admits noncommutative counterterms (of the gauge fields, its derivatives and ) which are not power-counting renormalizable, then, the anomaly cancellation condition for the noncommutative three-point function of the ordinary gauge field becomes the ordinary one: $\traza \T^a \{\T^b,\T^c\} = 0$.
