Anomaly Cancellations in Brane Tilings

TL;DR

This paper reinterprets anomaly cancellation conditions in quiver gauge theories from brane tilings as flux conservation on branes, providing a new perspective on gauge and flavor symmetry anomalies.

Contribution

It offers a novel flux conservation interpretation of anomaly cancellation conditions in brane tilings, connecting gauge theory anomalies with brane fluxes.

Findings

Reinterpretation of anomaly conditions as flux conservation.

Unified view of gauge and flavor symmetry anomalies.

Potential implications for brane tiling models and gauge theories.

Abstract

We re-interpret the anomaly cancellation conditions for the gauge symmetries and the baryonic flavor symmetries in quiver gauge theories realized by the brane tilings from the viewpoint of flux conservation on branes.
