Revisiting Wess-Zumino-Witten terms
read the original abstract
We revisit various topological issues concerning four-dimensional ungauged and gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) terms for $SU$ and $SO$ quantum chromodynamics (QCD), from the modern bordism point of view. We explain, for example, why the definition of the $4d$ WZW terms requires the spin structure. We also discuss how the mixed anomaly involving the 1-form symmetry of $SO$ QCD is reproduced in the low-energy sigma model.

Non-Abelian and Type-A Conformal Anomalies from Euler Descent
Non-Abelian conformal anomalies are classified via Stora-Zumino descent from the Euler class, placing them on equal footing with perturbative anomalies and enabling WZW terms for anomaly matching.

An overlooked WZW structure in the HLS formulation of vector mesons produces topological quantization of their anomalous couplings.

Bosonization versus the Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem
In the 2D modified Villain model, bosonized chiral lattice fermion operators yield a doubler-free but non-local reconstructed Dirac operator, consistent with Nielsen-Ninomiya, while the microscopic theory remains ultr...

Anomalies in family unification models from bordism classification
Family unification models from E7 cosets have no global sigma model anomalies because the torsion parts of their bordism groups vanish, as computed via the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence, including when isotropy ...

Bosonization versus the Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem
The 2D modified Villain model's Weyl operators reproduce free Dirac correlations in the continuum, and their no-doubler Dirac kernel is non-local, showing exactly how bosonization evades the Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem.
