We also constrain the gravitational anomaly of $U(1)$ currents in four-dimensional CFTs, which are encoded in three-point functions of the form $\\langle TT J \\rangle$. In theories with a large $N$ AdS dual we translate these bounds into constraints on the coefficient of a higher derivative bulk term of the form $\\int \\phi\\hspace{.5mm} W^2 $. We speculate that these bounds also apply in de-Sitter.
