Liouville/Toda central charges from M5-branes

High Energy Physics - Theory 2010-10-05 v1

Abstract

We show that the central charge of the Liouville and ADE Toda theories can be reproduced by equivariantly integrating the anomaly eight-form of the corresponding six-dimensional N=(0,2) theories, which describe the low-energy dynamics of M5-branes.
