Twisted Cohomotopy implies M5-brane anomaly cancellation (2002.07737v2)
Published 18 Feb 2020 in hep-th, math-ph, math.AT, math.DG, and math.MP
Abstract: We highlight what seems to be a remaining subtlety in the argument for the cancellation of the total anomaly associated with the M5-brane in M-theory. Then we prove that this subtlety is resolved under the hypothesis that the C-field flux is charge-quantized in the generalized cohomology theory called J-twisted Cohomotopy.
