We give a general description of the interplay that can occur between local and global anomalies, in terms of (co)bordism. Mathematically, such an interplay is encoded in the non-canonical splitting of short exact sequences known to classify invertible field theories. We study various examples of the phenomenon in 2, 4, and 6 dimensions. We also describe how this understanding of anomaly interplay provides a rigorous bordism-based version of an old method for calculating global anomalies (starting from local anomalies in a related theory) due to Elitzur and Nair.

  1. Cancelling mod-2 anomalies by Green-Schwarz mechanism with $B_{\mu\nu}$

    hep-th 2024-11 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Mod-2 global anomalies of 8d Sp(n) gauge theory can be canceled by a B-field Green-Schwarz mechanism, but the 4d SU(2) Witten anomaly cannot.
