Graviton scattering and a sum rule for the c anomaly in 4D CFT
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 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.

Non-invertible Gauss law and axions
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 In axion-Maxwell theory at the minimal axion-photon coupling, we find non-invertible 0- and 1-form global symmetries arising from the naive shift and center symmetries.

Cancellation of the Lorentz anomaly of string field theory in light-cone gauge
Nuclear Physics B, 1990 Abstract We study the path-integral measure of string fields in the bosonic open-closed interacting string field theory in light-cone gauge. The Lorentz anomaly of the path-integral measure cancels the Lorentz non-invariant terms of the classical string field action. Thus the theory is shown to be Lorentz invariant at the one-loop level. The one-loop

Non-Abelian anomalous (super)fluids in thermal equilibrium from differential geometry
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 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
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 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.

Boundary conformal anomalies on hyperbolic spaces and Euclidean balls
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 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.

6D anomaly-free matter spectrum in F-theory on singular spaces
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 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.

Anomalies of the entanglement entropy in chiral theories [PDF]
, 2016 We study entanglement entropy in theories with gravitational or mixed U(1) gauge-gravitational anomalies in two, four and six dimensions. In such theories there is an anomaly in the entanglement entropy: it depends on the choice of reference frame in ...

Scale anomalies, states, and rates in conformal field theory
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 This paper presents two methods to compute scale anomaly coefficients in conformal field theories (CFTs), such as the c anomaly in four dimensions, in terms of the CFT data.

Geometric general solution to the U(1) anomaly equations
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 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
