Abstract

We study gauge theories based on abelian pp-forms on real compact hyperbolic manifolds. An explicit formula for the conformal anomaly corresponding to skew--symmetric tensor fields is obtained, by using zeta--function regularization and the trace tensor kernel formula. Explicit exact and numerical values of the anomaly for pp-forms of order up to p=4p=4 in spaces of dimension up to n=10n=10 are then calculated.
