Abstract

We consider massless Majorana fermion systems with G=ZNG=\mathbb{Z}_N, SO(N)SO(N), and O(N)O(N) symmetry in one-dimensional spacetime. In these theories, phase ambiguities of the partition functions are given as the exponential of the η\eta-invariant of the Dirac operators in two dimensions, which is a bordism invariant. We construct sufficient numbers of bordism invariants to detect all bordism classes. Then, we classify global anomalies by calculating the η\eta-invariant of these bordism classes.
