(Non-)Abelian discrete anomalies

Authors

Vaudrevange, Patrick K. S.

Description

We derive anomaly constraints for Abelian and non-Abelian discrete symmetries using the path integral approach. We survey anomalies of discrete symmetries in heterotic orbifolds and find a new relation between such anomalies and the so-called `anomalous' U(1).
