Modular forms and generalized anomaly cancellation formulas
0. Introduction In [1], gravitational anomaly cancellation formulas are derived from direct computations. In particular, in dimension 12, the Alvarez-Gaumé and Witten ‘‘miraculous cancellation’’ formula can be written as {L(TX, ∇TX )}(12) = {8A(TX, ∇TX )ch(TCX, ∇TCX )}(12) − 32{A(TX, ∇TX )}(12), (0.1) where X is a twelve-dimensional Riemannian manifold, ∇TX is the associated Levi-Civita conn...
متن کاملA note on modular forms and generalized anomaly cancellation formulas
By studying modular invariance properties of some characteristic forms, we prove some new anomaly cancellation formulas which generalize the Han-Zhang and Han-Liu-Zhang anomaly cancellation formulas
متن کاملEven Dimensional Manifolds and Generalized Anomaly Cancellation Formulas
We give a direct proof of a cancellation formula raised by Han and Zhang (2004) on the level of differential forms. We also obtain more cancellation formulas for even dimensional Riemannian manifolds with a complex line bundle involved. Relations among these cancellation formulas are discussed.
متن کاملGravitational anomaly cancellation and modular invariance
In this paper, by combining modular forms and characteristic forms, we obtain general anomaly cancellation formulas of any dimension. For .4kC 2/–dimensional manifolds, our results include the gravitational anomaly cancellation formulas of Alvarez-Gaumé and Witten in dimensions 2, 6 and 10 [1] as special cases. In dimension 4k C 1 , we derive anomaly cancellation formulas for index gerbes. In d...
متن کاملTransgression and twisted anomaly cancellation formulas on odd dimensional manifolds
We compute the transgressed forms of some modularly invariant characteristic forms, which are related to the twisted elliptic genera. We study the modularity properties of these secondary characteristic forms and relations among them. We also get some twisted anomaly cancellation formulas on some odd dimensional manifolds. Subj.
