We note that in (2+1)-dimensional gauge theories with even number of massless fermions, there is anomalous $Z_2$ symmetry if theory is regularized in a parity-invariant way. We then consider a parity invariant $U(1)_V\times U(1)_A$ model,…

We establish the non-perturbative validity of the gauge anomaly cancellation condition in an effective electroweak theory of massless fermions with finite momentum cut-off and Fermi interaction. The requirement that the current is conserved…

Type IIB supergravity enjoys a discrete non-Abelian duality group, which has potential quantum anomalies. In this paper we explicitly compute these, and present the bordism group that controls them, modulo some physically motivated…

$U(n\otimes m)\ast$ gauge field theory on noncommutative spacetime is formulated and the standard-like model with the symmetry ${\text{U}(3_c\otimes 2\otimes 1_{\text{\scriptsize$Y$}})\ast}$ is reconstructed based on it. $\text{U}(n+m)\ast$…

These lectures on anomalies are relatively self-contained and intended for graduate students who are familiar with the basics of quantum field theory. We begin with several derivations of the abelian anomaly: anomalous transformation of the…

We revisit the issue of how the perturbative and global fermion anomaly of Type I string theory in ten dimensions is cancelled by the Green-Schwarz mechanism using the RR fields. This will be done by realising the RR fields as boundary…

The realization of a nonlocal quantum field theory without losing unitarity, gauge invariance and causality is investigated. It is commonly retained that such a formulation is possible at tree level, but at quantum level acausality…

The supersymmetric models extending the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) by an additional Abelian gauge factor U(1)' in order to solve the mu problem do generically suffer from anomalies disrupting the gauge coupling unification…

We complete our study of non-Abelian gauge theories in the framework of Epstein-Glaser approach to renormalization theory including in the model an arbitrary number of Dirac Fermions. We consider the consistency of the model up to the third…

There exists a rare class of R-symmetry gauged $N=(1,0)$ supergravities in six dimensions with gauge group $G\times U(1)_R$, where $G$ is semisimple with rank greater than one, and the number of tensor multiplets $n_T=1$, which are free…

The three tachyon-free non-supersymmetric string theories in ten dimensions provide a handle on quantum gravity away from the supersymmetric lamppost. However, they have not been shown to be fully consistent; although local anomalies cancel…

We reconsider the Adler-Bardeen theorem for the cancellation of gauge anomalies to all orders, when they vanish at one loop. Using the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism and combining the dimensional-regularization technique with the…

Standard lore uses local anomalies to check the kinematic consistency of gauge theories coupled to chiral fermions, e.g. Standard Models (SM). Based on a systematic cobordism classification, we examine constraints from invertible quantum…

In orbifold gauge theory and gauge-Higgs unification models, gauge anomaly flows with an Aharonov-Bohm phase $\theta_H$ in the fifth dimension. We analyze $SU(2)$ gauge theory with doublet fermions in the flat $M^4 \times (S^1/Z_2)$…

We discuss local \R-symmetry as a potentially powerful new model building tool. We first review and clarify that a $U(1)$ \R-symmetry can only be gauged in local and not in global supersymmetry. We determine the anomaly-cancellation…

Motivated by the apparent need for extending the MSSM and perhaps mitigating naturalness problems associated with the $\mu$ parameter and fine-tuning of the soft masses, we augment the MSSM spectrum by a SM gauge singlet chiral superfield,…

It is well known that anomaly cancellation {\it almost} determines the hypercharges in the standard model. A related (and somewhat more stronger) phenomenon takes place in Connes' NCG framework: unimodularity (a technical condition on…

We carry a systematic study of possible extensions of the standard model based on the gauge group SU(3)_c X SU(4)_L X U(1)_X. We consider both models with particles with exotic electric charges and models which do not contain exotic…

We discuss new-type grand unified theories based on grand unified groups broken to their special subgroups as well as their regular subgroups. In the framework, when we construct four-dimensional (4D) chiral gauge theories, i.e., the…

A perturbatively renormalized Abelian Higgs-Kibble model with a chirally coupled fermion is considered. The Slavnov identity is fulfilled to all orders of perturbation theory, which is crucial for renormalizability in models with vector…
