Abstract

In orbifold gauge theory and gauge-Higgs unification models, gauge anomaly flows with an Aharonov-Bohm phase θH\theta_H in the fifth dimension. We analyze SU(2)SU(2) gauge theory with doublet fermions in the flat M4×(S1/Z2)M^4 \times (S^1/Z_2) spacetime and in the Randall-Sundrum (RS) warped space. With orbifold boundary conditions the U(1)U(1) part of gauge symmetry remains unbroken at θH=0\theta_H = 0 and π\pi. Chiral anomalies smoothly vary with θH\theta_H in the RS space. Anomaly coefficients associated with this anomaly flow are expressed in terms of the values of the wave functions of gauge fields at the UV and IR branes in the RS space and parity conditions of fermion fields. Holography in anomaly flow is observed. Conditions for the anomaly cancellation turn out independent of θH\theta_H.
