Abstract:
Conditions that ensure universal invariance of the procedure of regularized integration with respect to internal momenta of diagrams are obtained. The only regularization scheme satisfying these conditions is dimensional regularization. It is shown that despite the invariance of the integration with respect to the momenta in the presence of anomalies the regularization scheme as a whole may be noninvariant.
