    Description
    We show that supersymmetry Ward identities contain an anomalous term, which takes the form of a surface term in Hilbert space. In the one-instanton sector the anomalous term is the integral of a total rho-derivative (where rho is the instanton's size). There are cases where the anomalous term is non-zero, and cannot be modified by subtractions. This constitutes a supersymmetry anomaly. (ref: hep-th/9908074)
