Description

We discuss some subtleties related to the description of anomalies in quantum field theory using Feynman diagrams. Using a setup that operates in the physical dimension to regularize ultraviolet and infrared divergences, we establish some physical criteria to study quantum symmetry breaking. We illustrate with a few examples.
