Anomaly Structure of Supergravity and Anomaly Cancellation
arXiv:0906.3503 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2009.08.023
Abstract
We display the full anomaly structure of supergravity, including new D-term contributions to the conformal anomaly. This expression has the super-Weyl and chiral U(1)_K transformation properties that are required for implementation of the Green-Schwarz mechanism for anomaly cancellation. We outline the procedure for full anomaly cancellation. Our results have implications for effective supergravity theories from the weakly coupled heterotic string theory.
