We give an overview of the issue of anomalies in field theories with extra dimensions. We start by reviewing in a pedagogical way the computation of the standard perturbative gauge and gravitational anomalies on non-compact spaces, using Fujikawa's approach and functional integral methods, and discuss the available mechanisms for their cancellation. We then generalize these analyses to the case of orbifold field theories with compact internal dimensions, emphasizing the new aspects related to the presence of orbifold singularities and discrete Wilson lines, and the new cancellation mechanisms that are becoming available. We conclude with a very brief discussion on global and parity anomalies.

Models with rank-reducing discrete boundary conditions on $T^2/{\mathbb Z}_4$
An SU(6) gauge-Higgs unification model on T^2/Z4 with rank-reducing boundary conditions yields two Higgs doublets from the gauge field, quark unification in a 15, and a vacuum with small electroweak breaking via the H...
