T1  - Exploring Anomalies by Many-Body Correlations
JF  - PSS B
N2  - The quantum anomaly is written alternatively into a form violating conservation laws or as non-gauge invariant currents seen explicitly on the example of chiral anomaly. By reinterpreting the many-body averaging, the connection to Pauli–Villars regularization is established which gives the anomalous term a new interpretation as arising from quantum fluctuations by many-body correlations at short distances. This is exemplified using an effective many-body quantum potential which realizes quantum Slater sums by classical calculations. It is shown that these quantum potentials avoid the quantum anomaly but approach the same anomalous result by many-body correlations. Consequently, quantum anomalies might be a shortcut way of single-particle field theory to account for many-body effects. This conjecture is also supported since the chiral anomaly can be derived by a completely conserving quantum kinetic theory. A measure for the quality of quantum potentials is suggested to describe these quantum fluctuations in the mean energy. The derived quantum potentials might be used to describe quantum simulations in classical terms.
