Universality in Anomaly Flow

Abstract

Universality in anomaly flow by an Aharonov-Bohm (AB) phase ${\theta }_H$ is shown in the flat $M^4\times (S^1/Z_2)$ spacetime and in the Randall-Sundrum (RS) warped space. We analyze $SU(2)$ gauge theory with doublet fermions. With orbifold boundary conditions the $U(1)$ part of gauge symmetry remains unbroken at ${\theta }_H=0$ and $\pi$. Chiral anomalies smoothly vary with ${\theta }_H$ in the RS space. It is shown that anomaly coefficients associated with this anomaly flow are expressed in terms of the values of the wave functions of gauge fields at the UV and IR branes in the RS space. The anomaly coefficients depend on ${\theta }_H$, the warp factor of the RS space, and the orbifold boundary conditions for fermions, but not on the bulk mass parameters of fermions.
