We give a modern geometric viewpoint on anomalies in quantum field theory and illustrate it in a 1-dimensional theory: supersymmetric quantum mechanics. This is background for the resolution of worldsheet anomalies in orientifold superstring theory.

Bosonic SPT and invertible phases and its relation to Steenrod's problem
Bosonic beyond-cohomology SPT phases are governed by a mod-3 Steenrod-power differential, and a new 6+1-dimensional Z3×Z3 Dijkgraaf-Witten phase is nontrivial on simplicial complexes but trivial on manifolds.

On Quantum Aspects of 1-Form Symmetries II: Bordism, Invertible Phases, and Anomalies
Bordism computation for K(Z,3) identifies a new mixed perturbative anomaly in 5D and a new Z2 discrete anomaly in 7D for U(1) 1-form symmetries.

Symmetry TFTs from String Theory
Constructs Symmetry TFTs for M-theory compactifications by reducing the topological sector of 11d supergravity on the boundary of X using differential cohomology, with applications to 7d SYM and 5d SCFTs confirmed via...

Tilts from 2-Groups
Line operators charged under the 1-form part of a 2-group symmetry must generically break the 0-form part, enforced by a family anomaly derived from Wess-Zumino consistency.

Double-Current Deformations of Two-Dimensional QFTs with Anomalies
Extends double-current deformations to anomalous 2D QFTs via dynamical gauge and Stueckelberg couplings, producing an anomaly-preserving holonomy integral kernel that Gaussian-transforms the compact boson partition function.

Examples of Invertible Gauging via Orbifold Data, Zesting, and Equivariantisation
The paper gives examples of gauging Z2 symmetries in Dijkgraaf-Witten Z2 theory and Tambara-Yamagami categories via equivariantisation, G-crossed braided zesting, and generalised orbifolds, while introducing zested or...

Does hot QCD have a conformal manifold in the chiral limit?
An 't Hooft anomaly at general imaginary baryon chemical potential constrains the QCD chiral transition to three minimal CFT scenarios, with the favored one for N_f >= 3 featuring a conformal manifold of theta_B-depen...

Anomaly-induced vanishing of brane partition functions
Anomalies imply vanishing brane partition functions; this yields unified derivations of the Freed-Witten and M5 shifted-quantization conditions and new S-fold D3-brane constraints.

To Break or Not to Break: A Review of a No-Go Theorem on Chiral Symmetry Breaking in QCD-like Theories
A review showing that if a QCD-like theory with enough massless flavors is fully color-screened in the infrared, then chiral symmetry must be spontaneously broken.
