Elliptic genus, anomaly cancellation and heterotic M-theory

نویسندگان

چکیده

We derive global consistency condition for strongly coupled heterotic string in the presence of M5-branes. Its elliptic genus is interpretable as generating functional anomaly polynomials and so, on anomaly-free vacua, both holomorphic modular invariant. In basis, we identify properties by calculating phase. By interpreting refinement parameters background curvature tangent vector bundles, show that extended Bianchi identity Kalb--Ramond field M-theory satisfied arbitrary numbers

Anomaly cancellation in M - theory

We show the complete cancellation of gauge and gravitational anomalies in the Mtheory of Horava and Witten using their boundary contribution, and a term coming from the existence of two and five-branes. A factor of three discrepancy noted in an earlier work is resolved. We end with a comment on flux quantization. e-mail: [email protected] In the M-theory of Horava and Witten [1] sever...

Gravitational Anomaly Cancellation for M -Theory Fivebranes

We study gravitational anomalies for fivebranes in M theory. We show that an apparent anomaly in diffeomorphisms acting on the normal bundle is cancelled by a careful treatment of the M theory Chern-Simons coupling in the presence of fivebranes. One interesting aspect of our treatment is the way in which a magnetic object (the fivebrane) is smoothed out through coupling to gravity and the resul...

Anomaly cancellation in M–theory on orbifolds

We present calculation of the anomaly cancellation in M–theory on orbifolds S/ZZ2 and T /ZZ2 in the upstairs approach. The main requirement that allows one to uniquely define solutions to the modified Bianchi identities in this case is that the field strength G be globally defined on S1 or T 5 and properly transforming under ZZ2. We solve for general G that satisfies these requirements and expl...

Heterotic Anomaly Cancellation in Five Dimensions

We study the constraints on five–dimensional N = 1 heterotic M–theory imposed by a consistent anomaly–free coupling of bulk and boundary theory. This requires analyzing the cancellation of triangle gauge anomalies on the four–dimensional orbifold planes due to anomaly inflow from the bulk. We find that the semi–simple part of the orbifold gauge groups and certain U(1) symmetries have to be free...

Intersecting Orbifold Planes and Local Anomaly Cancellation in M-Theory

A systematic program is developed for analyzing and cancelling local anomalies on networks of intersecting orbifold planes in the context of M -theory. Through a delicate balance of factors, it is discovered that local anomaly matching on the lowerdimensional intersection of two orbifold planes may require twisted matter on those planes which do not conventionally support an anomaly (such as od...
