abstract

This paper shows how to construct anomaly free world sheet actions in string theory with $D$-branes. Our method is to use Deligne cohomology and bundle gerbe theory to define geometric objects which are naturally associated to $D$-branes and connections on them. The holonomy of these connections can be used to cancel global anomalies in the world sheet action.

  1. Higher Structures on Boundary Conformal Manifolds: Higher Berry Phase and Boundary Conformal Field Theory

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A 2-form higher Berry connection on boundary conformal manifolds is defined from boundary-condition-changing operator OPE phases; it reproduces the B-field and WZ term in string theory examples.

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Higher gauge fields receive a global infrared completion by electromagnetic flux quantization in differential nonabelian cohomology using cohesive homotopy theory, with applications to brane charges in K-theory and Co...

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    11D supergravity, its toroidal reductions, and M5-brane worldvolume flux are equivalent to Bianchi identities in characteristic L∞-algebras (lS4, cyc(lS4), tor(lS4), lS4S7), whose IR completions are classified by flux...
