The translation changes the Lagrangian density by . The Noether current is therefore
This is the canonical stress-energy tensor. Directly,
up to the analogous adjoint-field term, so the Euler-Lagrange field equations imply on shell. The Dirac equation also gives on shell.

For massless fermions the classical axial rotation has Noether current
Promote to a spacetime-dependent parameter. The classical variation, after integration by parts, is . The chiral anomaly is equivalently encoded by the stated shift , which changes the theta action by
The anomalous Ward identity is therefore
so in the trace convention of the question.

Taking the divergence of the Noether current,
because the two gradient-product terms cancel. The field equation and its conjugate are and , with real . Hence
