Perturbative Anomalies of the M-5-brane

High Energy Physics - Theory 2010-02-04 v2

Abstract

We discuss several mechanisms to cancel the anomalies of a 5-brane embedded in M-theory. Two of them work, provided we impose suitable conditions either on the 11-dimensional manifold of M-theory or on the 4-form field strength of M-theory.
