Abstract
The local polynomial cohomology space of the Yang–Mills BRS operator in four dimensions is computed. In order to simplify the analysis, without omitting the physically interesting cases, the investigation is limited to polynomials whose Fadeev–Popov charge and UV naive dimensions have upper bounds. Furthermore the results are used to compute, math la Stora, the local functional Yang–Mills anomalies, from which the uniqueness of the Adler–Bardeen–Jackiw anomaly followsKeywords
