Summary

We consider the current algebra of the conserved current associated with the invariance of the standard Lagrangian ofn spinless boson fieldsφi,i=1, …,n, under global rotations inn dimensions. We find that the zero-component (local charge density) can develop an anomaly and we determine the general expression for this anomaly.
