چکیده
The anomaly found by Callan and Harvey is shown to be cancelled in a threedimensional noncommutative gauge theory coupled to a fermion with a mass function depending on one spatial coordinate (domain wall mass).

Nonplanar Anomalies in Noncommutative Theories and the Green-Schwarz Mechanism
We discuss nonplanar anomalies in noncommutative gauge theories. In particular we show that a nonplanar anomaly exists when the external noncommutative momentum is zero and that it leads to a non-conservation of the associated axial charge. In the case of nonplanar local anomalies, a cancellation of the anomaly can be achieved by a Green-Schwarz mechanism. In an example of D3 branes placed on a...
متن کاملAnomaly and Nonplanar Diagrams in Noncommutative Gauge Theories
Anomalies in relation to nonplanar triangle diagrams of noncommutative gauge theory are studied. Local chiral gauge anomaly for noncommutative U(1) and U(N) gauge theories with adjoint matter fields is determined perturbatively and shown to vanish for both planar and nonplanar diagrams. For U(1) gauge theory with fundamental matter field coupling, three different noncommutative currents are fou...
متن کاملHeterotic Anomaly Cancellation in Five Dimensions
We study the constraints on five–dimensional N = 1 heterotic M–theory imposed by a consistent anomaly–free coupling of bulk and boundary theory. This requires analyzing the cancellation of triangle gauge anomalies on the four–dimensional orbifold planes due to anomaly inflow from the bulk. We find that the semi–simple part of the orbifold gauge groups and certain U(1) symmetries have to be free...
متن کاملConstraints on discrete symmetries from anomaly cancellation in compactified superstring theories
Compactified string theories give rise to discrete symmetries which are essential if they are to provide a realistic low energy theory. We find that in a class of four dimensional string theories these symmetries are constrained by similar conditions to those discrete anomaly cancellation conditions found in the case the discrete symmetry is a residue of a spontaneously broken gauge symmetry. S...
متن کاملChiral String Compactifications from Intersecting
Intersecting Dp-branes often give rise to chiral fermions living on their intersections. We study the construction of four-dimensional chiral gauge theories by considering configurations of type II D(3 + n)-branes wrapped on non-trivial n-cycles on T × (R/ZN), for n = 1, 2, 3. The gauge theories on the four non-compact dimensions of the brane world-volume are generically chiral and non-supersym...
