Using the finite-mode regularization introduced in a previous paper, we define the functional integral for a theory of Weyl fermions. We check this definition by making sure the resulting triangle anomaly satisfies the Wess-Zumino consistency conditions. We compare our result with others found in the literature. We apply the finite-mode regularization to compute the axial anomaly in any space-time dimension and to find the explicit expression of anomalous currents in terms of the gauge fields. We illustrate the phenomenon of the infrared compensation of the chiral anomaly.
