In theoretical physics, a mixed anomaly is an example of an anomaly: it is an effect of quantum mechanics — usually a one-loop diagram — that implies that the classically valid general covariance and gauge symmetry of a theory of general relativity combined with gauge fields and fermionic fields cannot be preserved simultaneously in the quantum theory.

The adjective "mixed" usually refers to a mixture of a gravitational anomaly and gauge anomaly.

The anomaly usually appears as a Feynman diagram with a chiral fermion running in the loop (a polygon) with nāˆ’k external gravitons and k external gauge bosons attached to the loop where n = 1 + D / 2 where D is the spacetime dimension. Anomalies occur only in even spacetime dimensions. For example, the anomalies in the usual 4 spacetime dimensions arise from triangle Feynman diagrams.

General covariance and gauge symmetries are very important symmetries for the consistency of the whole theory, and therefore all gravitational, gauge, and mixed anomalies must cancel out.

Purines v fructose?
Q. I suffer from gout and accociated arthritis and have been trying to find a dietry cure but I'm getting mixed messages. Apples for instance are high in fructose which can cause a spike of uric acid in the blood which is a cause of gout. then I find that apples are recommended to lower the purines in the blood. This anomaly occurs with many food stuffs so is it better to eat high fructose food or low purine food

A. Purines are notoriously odd and there is much conflicting advice about them. This may help and they have some low-purine cook-books: I find low purine diets are the most effective but miss all the food you are not supposed to have so I dance between low purine and Celebrex

A. Yes it is really accurate. However, who cares??? This is absurd because Carbon-14 dating is not used to prove ANY of the claims your article says C-14 dating is used for. It is not used to date the Earth's origin, as it can only be used for the past 60,000 years. It is not used by evolutionists to prove evolution. It is not used for any of this. Your article actually says that C14 dating can be used to date things that are millions of years old- yet no scientific claims have ever been made dating anything with C-14 for more than 60,000 years. This is a bald-faced lie. It simply can't be done. Your article is complete bull and any true Christian would be ashamed of spreading such untruth. You are doing nothing more than tilting at… [cont.]

She has visible scars on her neck, hands, and underneath deep sunken eyes, not from misadventures of childhood but the cold steel cut of a surgeon s knife, she has unnaturally small unformed ears hidden under honey blond hair, she is someone I don t really know, someone who has faced trials that I find difficult to remember, someone I respect and someone I dread. I have never understood how people, my family and my friends deal with it so well. Sometimes I ll catch myself in a mirror at an angle that makes my whole self constrict, and I always wonder how people deal with me, the opposite of perfection that all of mankind… [cont.]
