Chiral anomalies in higher-derivative supersymmetric 6D gauge theories

Abstract

We show that the recently constructed higher-derivative 6D SYM theory involves an internal chiral anomaly breaking gauge invariance. The anomaly is cancelled when adding to the theory an adjoint matter hypermultiplet.

A missed contribution added. The article is rather essentially reshuffled
