Abstract
Adopting the Fujikawa method wherein anomalies are calculated with regulate d Jacobians, the Schwinger expansion for e((A) over cap+(B) over cap) where (A) over cap and (B) over cap are operators is used herein to obtain the s cale and conformal anomalies for the Landau problem. This approach differs from the conventional method in which a change of basis from eigenstates of the regulator to plane waves is adopted; however the anomalies worked out here match exactly with the results obtained earlier by the author with the usual method.
