Anomalies, Gauss laws, and Page charges in M-theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-10 v2

Abstract

We review the E(8) model of the M-theory 3-form and its applications to anomaly cancellation, Gauss laws, quantization of Page charge, and the 5-brane partition function. We discuss the potentially problematic behavior of the model under parity.
