摘要
We discuss some aspects of the generalization of Fujikawa's method for computing the trace anomaly when an external field is present. This is done explicitly for the case of a scalar theory in four dimensions. We also use the idea of a compensating field in order to construct a general conformal invariant action for a scalar theory in two dimensions. This is done after a suitable choice of the integration variable in the functional measure. The corresponding trace anomaly is computed and the result obtained is more general than the usual one.
