Abstract
We propose to test instanton models of QCD - in particular the single
instanton approximation and the Diakonov and Petrov model - against some exact
relations inferred from QCD + QED axial anomaly. One of these relations, in
chiral limit, is satisfied by the latter model, but not by the former one.
More refined tests, obtained beyond the chiral limit, are not fulfilled by the
Diakonov and Petrov model.
