abstract

We show how methods of number theory can be used to study anomalies in gauge quantum field theories in spacetime dimension two. To wit, the anomaly cancellation conditions for the abelian part of the local anomaly admit solutions if and only if they admit solutions in the reals and in the $p$-adics for every prime $p$ and we use this to build an algorithm to find all solutions.

    Anomaly-free m-fold product representations of su_n form rational projective varieties for all n and m, and bounded-size chiral solutions are rare, with known upper and lower bounds.
