Abstract
In a recent paper, Allanach et al introduced a geometric method to solve the anomaly cancellation equations for a gauge theory with an arbitrary number of charges - the Method of Chords known in Diophantine analysis. We extend their result to non-Abelian gauge groups, and show that this method can be used to find the general solution to the anomaly cancellation equations for a theory with the Standard Model gauge group on a curved background. Given charges in , charges in , charges in , and charges in representations of , the equations reduce to a homogeneous cubic Diophantine equation in variables.
