Localized Fermions and Anomaly Inflow via Deconstruction
نویسنده
چکیده
We study fermion localization in gauge theory space. We consider four dimensional product gauge groups in which light chiral fermions transform under different gauge factors of the product group. This construction provides a suppression of higher dimensional operators. For example, it can be used to suppress dangerous proton decay operators. The anomalies associated with the light chiral fermions are compensated by Wess-Zumino terms, which in the continuum limit reproduce the five dimensional Chern-Simons term.

Deconstruction, Lattice Supersymmetry, Anomalies and Branes
We study the realization of anomalous Ward identities in deconstructed (latticized) supersymmetric theories. In a deconstructed four-dimensional theory with N = 2 supersymmetry, we show that the chiral symmetries only appear in the infrared and that the anomaly is reproduced in the usual framework of lattice perturbation theory with Wilson fermions. We then realize the theory on the world-volum...
متن کاملHigher Dimensional Supersymmetry in 4D Superspace
We present an explicit formulation of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories from D = 5 to 10 dimensions in the familiar N = 1,D = 4 superspace. This provides the rules for globally supersymmetric model building with extra dimensions and in particular allows us to simply write down N = 1 SUSY preserving interactions between bulk fields and fields localized on branes. We present a few applications o...
متن کاملAnomaly Cancellation On G2-Manifolds
Smooth manifolds of G2 holonomy, used to compactify M -theory to four dimensions, give only abelian gauge groups without charged matter multiplets. But singular G2-manifolds can give abelian or nonabelian gauge groups with chiral fermions. We describe the mechanism of anomaly cancellation in these models, using anomaly inflow from the bulk. We also compare the anomaly predictions to what has be...
متن کاملI-Brane Dynamics
We study the dynamics near a 1 + 1 dimensional intersection of two orthogonal stacks of fivebranes in type IIB string theory, using an open string description valid at weak coupling, and a closed string description valid at strong coupling. The weak coupling description suggests that this system is invariant under eight supercharges with a particular chirality in 1 + 1 dimensions, and its spect...
متن کاملAnomalies on Six Dimensional Orbifolds
We consider localized anomalies in six dimensional Zn orbifolds. We give a very simple expression for the contribution of a bulk fermion to the fixed point gauge anomaly that is independent of the order n of the orbifold twist. We show it can be split into three terms, two of which are canceled by bulk fermions and Green-Schwarz four forms respectively. The remaining anomaly carries an integer ...
