Anomaly cancellation for M-theory fivebranes requires the introduction of a "bump-form" which smoothes out the five-brane source. We discuss the physical origin of this bump-form in the simpler case of axion strings in 3+1 dimensions and construct it in terms of the radial profile of the fermion zero modes. Our treatment allows for a clearer understanding of the role played by covariant rather than consistent anomalies when anomalies are canceled by inflow from the bulk. We briefly discuss the generalization of these results to fivebrane anomalies in M theory.

  1. Stability of Superconducting Strings

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Lattice simulations and S-matrix calculations show superconducting string loops relax to stable vortons, with fermion escape and decay rates suppressed below previous estimates.
