We analyze global anomalies for elementary Type II strings in the presence of D-branes. Global anomaly cancellation gives a restriction on the D-brane topology. This restriction makes possible the interpretation of D-brane charge as an element of K-theory.

  1. Anomalies in family unification models from bordism classification

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    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 ...

  2. Dark Matter and Strong CP Problem in Type IIA String Theory

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Type IIA orientifold model with D6-branes stabilizes moduli via STU and KL, predicts axion-neutralino dark matter, and uses four-form flux to address strong CP problem.

  3. On Global Embedding of Assisted Fibre Inflation

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Assisted multi-fibre inflation distributes the required field range across several moduli in global CY orientifolds, overcoming single-field Kähler cone obstructions to realize viable inflation.
