• Abstract: Anomaly, a generic feature of relativistic quantum field theory, is shown to be present in non-relativistic classical ideal fluid. A new result is the presence of anomalous terms in current algebra, an obvious analogue of Schwinger terms present in quantum field theory. We work in Hamiltonian framework where Eulerian dynamical variables obey an anomalous algebra (with Schwinger terms) that is inherited from modified Poisson brackets, with Berry curvature corrections, among Lagrangian discrete coordinates. The divergence anomaly appears in the Hamiltonian equations of motion. A generalized form of fluid velocity field can be identified with the "anomalous velocity" of Bloch band electrons appearing in quantum Hall effect in condensed matter physics. We finally show that the divergence anomaly and Schwinger terms satisfy well known Adler consistency condition. Lastly we mention possible scenarios where this new anomalous fluid theory can impact.

  Locality holds for the quantum theory, and seems to be fully obeyed also by the classical treatment. We do discuss extensively the distinction between the quantum treatment and the classical one, even though they produce exactly the same equations mathematically. It is suggested to apply this theory for real time quantum model simulations.

We also consider the case of an electrical circuit with thermal noise and analyze the role of non-Markovian noise in the context of the virial theorem.

  Quantum Rutherford scattering and scattering of classical waves off Coulomb-like potentials have similar formal structures. In both contexts, the long-range nature of the interaction leads to a divergent total cross-section. We show that it arises from incorrectly using approximations out of their domain of validity.
