abstract

We highlight what seems to be a remaining subtlety in the argument for the cancellation of the total anomaly associated with the M5-brane in M-theory. Then we prove that this subtlety is resolved under the hypothesis that the C-field flux is charge-quantized in the generalized cohomology theory called J-twisted Cohomotopy.

    Choosing equivariant twistorial Cohomotopy as the flux quantization law on single M5-probes wrapped on a Z2-orbifold yields abelian anyonic quantum states on the orbifold fixed locus.
