Anomaly Cancellation: A Retrospective From a Modern Perspective
John H. Schwarz
The mechanism by which gauge and gravitational anomalies cancel in certain string theories is reviewed. The presentation is aimed at theorists who do not necessarily specialize in…

Comments on Born-Infeld Theory
John H. Schwarz
The low-energy effective action of supersymmetric D-brane systems consists of two terms, one of which is of the Born-Infeld type and one of which is of the Chern-Simons type. I bri…

Anomaly Analysis of Brane-Antibrane Systems
John H. Schwarz, Edward Witten
String theories with branes can often be generalized by adding brane-antibrane pairs. We explore the cancellation of anomalies in this more general context, extending the familiar…
