SPURIOUS ANOMALIES IN DIMENSIONAL RENORMALIZATION

A set of procedures is given for avoiding the spurious anomalies that are generated when the 't Hooft-Veltman definition of gamma(5) is used in conjunction with renormalization by minimal subtraction. These pro cedures are derived from the standard procedure, which requires in add ition various finite renormalizations to remove spurious violations of chiral symmetry. They apply to open fermion lines, including flavor c hanging currents, to closed fermion loops, including those which conta in true anomalous currents, and to anomalous loops connected to open f ermion lines, to all orders in QCD.
