Anomaly appears then there is the breaking of some classical symmetry in quantum theory
There is no the general principle allowing us to transfer classical symmetries on quantum level

MotivationMotivation
There is a class of electro-weak contributions to the muon g-2 containing a fermion triangle along with a virtual photon and Z boson
For the determination of the muon anomalous magnetic moment (g-2) we are interested in the transition between virtual Z and in the presence of the external magnetic field to first order in this field. This is the motivation for studying anomalous AVV amplitude in detail.

It is well-known that in the chiral limit at one-loop level

There is the symmetry of the amplitude under permutation in the chiral limit

As a result the relations (**) get no the perturbative corrections from gluon exchanges
The anomaly is expressed only through :
Vainshetein’s non-renormalization theorem: Vainshetein’s non-renormalization theorem: dispersion point of viewdispersion point of view
is the same with the imaginary part of (**) for real external photons in the chiral limit at the one-loop level.
In difference from Vainshtein’s approach within the dispersion approach we have two dispersion relations for axial anomaly including both structures
If the relation (***) gets no the perturbative corrections in the higher orders If the relation (***) gets no the perturbative corrections in the higher orders then it can provide the non-renormalization theorem for transversal part then it can provide the non-renormalization theorem for transversal part of the triangle for arbitrary fermion's mass.of the triangle for arbitrary fermion's mass.

We have two dispersion relations for AA. The equaling of l.h.s. of this relations with and being interchanged gives
Calculation of two loop axial anomalyCalculation of two loop axial anomaly
We have calculated the imaginary part of the third formfactor corresponding to the full two loop amplitude in both kinematics.
The result is zero!
The dispersive approach to the axial anomaly is postulated to be valid in the higher orders of perturbation theory
The Ward identity is proved up to two loop level in both cases of the external momenta corresponding to two real photons and one real and one virtual photons
It is proposed to expand the Vainshtein’s non-renormalization theorem for arbitrary fermion's masses in the triangle loop for above cases. But this work is still in progress now…

The amplitude for on-shell gluons is well-known(effective Lagrangian approach):
We posed the following problems:
1) to take into account the non-zeroth gluon virtualities in the amplitude including finite (not infinite) masses of quarks in the loop
2) to calculate the matrix element and inclusive cross-section in the framework of kt-factorization approach

We have analyzed the effect of the non-zeroth virtualities of external gluons on the amplitude of a scalar Higgs boson production. We found a new term in the amplitude compared to the recent effective Lagrangian calculation.
The relative drop of the averaged square of the matrix element is about 1% or less at relevant physical parameters, so this effect could be verified in the high precision experiments only.
The effect of the non-zeroth virtualities on the angular distribution is much more significant due to a quick growth of the second formfactor.
