Anomaly Inflow at Singularities
Many noncompact Type I orbifolds satisfy tadpole constraints yet are anomalous. We present a generalization of the anomaly inflow mechanism for some of these cases in six and four dimensions.
متن کاملAnomaly Inflow for Gauge Defects
Topological defects constructed out of scalar fields and possessing chiral fermion zero modes are known to exhibit an anomaly inflow mechanism which cancels the anomaly in the effective theory of the zero modes through an inflow of current from the space in which the defect is embedded. We investigate the analog of this mechanism for defects constructed out of gauge fields in higher dimensions....
متن کاملObservational manifestations of anomaly inflow
In theories with chiral couplings, one of the important consistency requirements is that of the cancellation of a gauge anomaly. In particular, this is one of the conditions imposed on the hypercharges in the Standard Model. However, anomaly cancellation condition of the Standard Model looks unnatural from the perspective of a theory with extra dimensions. Indeed, if our world were embedded int...
متن کاملEffective Hamiltonian for surface states of topological insulator nanotubes
In this work we derive an effective Hamiltonian for the surface states of a hollow topological insulator (TI) nanotube with finite width walls. Unlike a solid TI cylinder, a TI nanotube possesses both an inner as well as outer surface on which the states localized at each surface are coupled together. The curvature along the circumference of the nanotube leads to a spatial variation of the spin...
متن کاملTopological orders in Silicon photonics
Topological features – global properties which are not discernible locally – have attracted tremendous research attention in many fields of physics, ranging from condensed matter to ultra cold gases. Recently, photonic systems have been under investigation to explore various types of topological orders and to potentially develop robust optical devices. In this project, we investigated various a...
