Perturbative Anomalies of the M-5-brane
arXiv:hep-th/9710063 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/1997/12/007
Abstract
We discuss several mechanisms to cancel the anomalies of a 5-brane embedded in M-theory. Two of them work, provided we impose suitable conditions either on the 11-dimensional manifold of M-theory or on the 4-form field strength of M-theory.
