Twisted Cohomotopy implies M5-brane anomaly cancellation
arXiv:2002.07737 · doi:10.1007/s11005-021-01452-8
Abstract
We highlight what seems to be a remaining subtlety in the argument for the cancellation of the total anomaly associated with the M5-brane in M-theory. Then we prove that this subtlety is resolved under the hypothesis that the C-field flux is charge-quantized in the generalized cohomology theory called J-twisted Cohomotopy.
