Twistorial Cohomotopy implies Green-Schwarz anomaly cancellation

Published 19 Aug 2020 in hep-th, math-ph, math.AT, math.DG, math.GT, and math.MP | (2008.08544v3)

Abstract: We characterize the integral cohomology and the rational homotopy type of the maximal Borel-equivariantization of the combined Hopf/twistor fibration, and find that subtle relations satisfied by the cohomology generators are just those that govern Horava-Witten's proposal for the extension of the Green-Schwarz mechanism from heterotic string theory to heterotic M-theory. We discuss how this squares with the Hypothesis H that the elusive mathematical foundation of M-theory is based on charge quantization in J-twisted Cohomotopy theory.
