The linearized Einstein equation describing graviton propagation through a chiral medium appears to be helicity dependent. We analyze features of the corresponding spectrum in a collision-less regime above a flat background. In the long wave-length limit,

Graviton scattering and a sum rule for the c anomaly in 4D CFT
4D CFTs have a scale anomaly characterized by the coefficient c, which appears as the coefficient of logarithmic terms in momentum space correlation functions of the energy-momentum tensor.

*-Wars Episode I: The Phantom Anomaly [PDF]
As pointed out, chiral non-commutative theories exist, and examples can be constructed via string theory. Gauge anomalies require the matter content of individual gauge group factors, including U(1) factors, to be non-chiral.

Non-Abelian anomalous (super)fluids in thermal equilibrium from differential geometry
We apply differential geometry methods to the computation of the anomaly-induced hydrodynamic equilibrium partition function. Implementing the imaginary-time prescription on the Chern-Simons effective action on a stationary background, we obtain general ...

’t Hooft anomalies and boundaries
We argue that there is an obstruction to placing theories with ’t Hooft anomalies on manifolds with a boundary, unless the symmetry associated with the anomaly can be represented as a non-invariance under an Abelian transformation.

6D anomaly-free matter spectrum in F-theory on singular spaces
In this paper we study the 6d localized charged matter spectrum of F-theory directly on a singular elliptic Calabi-Yau 3-fold, i.e. without smoothing via resolution or deformation of the entire fibration.

Target-Space Duality in Heterotic and Type I Effective Lagrangians [PDF]
We study the implications of target-space duality symmetries for low-energy effective actions of various four-dimensional string theories. In the heterotic case such symmetries can be incorporated in simple orbifold examples.

Boundary conformal anomalies on hyperbolic spaces and Euclidean balls
We compute conformal anomalies for conformal field theories with free conformal scalars and massless spin 1/2 fields in hyperbolic space ℍ d and in the ball Bd $$ {\mathbb{B}}^d $$, for 2≤d≤7. These spaces are related by a conformal transformation.

Geometric general solution to the U(1) anomaly equations
Costa et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 123 (2019) 151601] recently gave a general solution to the anomaly equations for n charges in a U(1) gauge theory. ‘Primitive’ solutions of chiral fermion charges were parameterised and it was shown how operations performed

We initiate a systematic study of `t Hooft anomalies in Galilean field theories, focusing on two questions therein. In the first, we consider the non-relativistic theories obtained from a discrete light-cone quantization (DLCQ) of a relativistic theory ...
