Anomalies of non-Abelian finite groups via cobordism
read the original abstract
We use cobordism theory to analyse anomalies of finite non-abelian symmetries in 4 spacetime dimensions. By applying the method of `anomaly interplay', which uses functoriality of cobordism and naturality of the $\eta$-invariant to relate anomalies in a group of interest to anomalies in other (finite or compact Lie) groups, we derive the anomaly for every representation in many examples motivated by flavour physics, including $S_3$, $A_4$, $Q_8$, and $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{F}_3)$. In the case of finite abelian groups, it is well known that anomalies can be `truncated' in a way that has no effect on low-energy physics, by means of a group extension. We extend this idea to non-abelian symmetries. We show, for example, that a system with $A_4$ symmetry can be rendered anomaly-free, with only one-third as many fermions as na\"ively required, by passing to a larger symmetry. As another example, we find that a well-known model of quark and lepton masses utilising the $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{F}_3)$ symmetry is anomalous, but that the anomaly can be cancelled by enlarging the symmetry to a $\mathbb{Z}/3$ extension of $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{F}_3)$.

Asymmetric orbifolds with vanishing one-loop vacuum energy
Non-supersymmetric type II asymmetric orbifolds with Z_k x Z_k Abelian point groups (k=2,3,4) admit vanishing one-loop vacuum energy via sector-wise conservation of a supercharge-like operator.

A missing link: Brane networks and the Cobordism Conjecture
Defects tied to discrete symmetries via bordism groups Ω^ξ_2(BG) and homology H_2(BG;Z) are codimension-two branes that participate in networks with junctions, expanding the Cobordism Conjecture's predictions in strin...

A missing link: Brane networks and the Cobordism Conjecture
Defects for discrete symmetries encoded in bordism groups Ω^ξ_2(BG) and H_2(BG;Z) are described as brane networks rather than isolated objects, extending the Cobordism Conjecture and demonstrated in 4d supergravity fr...

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 ...
