Anomaly polynomial of E-string theories

High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-06-19 v2

Abstract

We determine the anomaly polynomial of the E-string theory and its higher-rank generalizations, that is, the 6d N=(1,0)\mathcal{N} =(1, 0) superconformal theories on the worldvolume of one or multiple M5-branes embedded within the end-of-the-world brane with E8E_8 symmetry.
