Antifield Dependence of Anomalies

Abstract

It is shown that generally the consistency equation for anomalies of quantum field theories has solutions which depend nontrivially on the sources of the (generalized) BRS-transformations of the fields. Explicit previously unknown examples of such solutions are given for Yang-Mills and super Yang-Mills theories.
