(Non-)Abelian discrete anomalies

High Energy Physics - Theory 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

We derive anomaly constraints for Abelian and non-Abelian discrete symmetries using the path integral approach. We survey anomalies of discrete symmetries in heterotic orbifolds and find a new relation between such anomalies and the so-called `anomalous' U(1).
