Comment on "A Candidate for a Supergravity Anomaly"

TL;DR

This paper refutes a recent claim of a new supergravity anomaly in 4D, demonstrating that such an anomaly cannot exist as it contradicts established literature and results.

Contribution

It clarifies the non-existence of the proposed supergravity anomaly, correcting a recent misinterpretation in the field.

Findings

No evidence of the proposed anomaly exists.

The claim contradicts established supergravity results.

The paper reinforces current understanding of supergravity anomalies.

Abstract

In a recent paper (arXiv:2110.06213v1) it was argued that in 4D supergravity a previously unknown candidate anomaly exists. In the present paper it is pointed out that the existence of such a candidate would contradict results available in the literature, and it is substantiated that there is no candidate anomaly of the asserted form.
