The chiral torsional anomaly and the Nieh-Yan invariant with and without boundaries

Journal of High Energy Physics
There exists a long-standing debate regarding the torsion contribution to the 4d chiral anomaly of a Dirac fermion. Central to this debate is the Nieh-Yan anomaly, which has been considered ill-defined and a regularization artifact.

Light-ray sum rules and the c-anomaly

Journal of High Energy Physics
In a four-dimensional quantum field theory that flows between two fixed points under the renormalization group, the change in the conformal anomaly ∆a has been related to the average null energy.

Towards a complete classification of 6D supergravities

Journal of High Energy Physics
The constraints arising from anomaly cancellation are particular strong for chiral theories in six dimensions. We make progress towards a complete classification of 6D supergravities with minimal supersymmetry and non-abelian gauge group.

Axial anomalies of maximally supersymmetric tensor theories

Journal of High Energy Physics
We revisit anomalies of (4, 0) and (3, 1) maximally supersymmetric tensor theories in d = 6. A (4, 0) on-shell tensor multiplet descends to that of the d = 5 maximal supergravity upon a dimensional reduction, hypothesized to offer a strong-coupled UV ...

Anomaly cancellation for a U(1) factor

Journal of High Energy Physics
We use methods of arithmetic geometry to find solutions to the abelian local anomaly cancellation equations for a four-dimensional gauge theory whose Lie algebra has a single $${\mathfrak{u}}_{1}$$ summand, assuming that a non-trivial solution exists ...

Enumerating 6D supergravities with T ≤ 1

Journal of High Energy Physics
The space of 6D supergravities with minimal supersymmetry is greatly constrained by anomaly cancellation. Nevertheless, a large number of models satisfy all low-energy consistency conditions and in this work we make progress towards exhaustively ...

Constraints on the topology of Type IIB string theory

Journal of High Energy Physics
We discuss some topological constraints on Type IIB string theory that cannot be described by elementary characteristic classes. Anomaly cancellation of the worldvolume theory of a D3-brane requires a shifted Dirac quantization condition of the Ramond ...
