结果表明，当考虑来自块体的异常流入时，M5膜的世界体积理论的全球规范-引力混合反常为零。这一结果延伸到IIA型和杂种E8ˆE8五膜。作为副产品，我们给出了一般非自旋M5膜世界体积的手征费米子场的定义，并确定了自对偶场与M理论C场之间的耦合。
We show that the global mixed gauge-gravitational anomaly of the worldvolume theory of the M5-brane vanishes, when the anomaly inflow from the bulk is taken into account. This result extends to the type IIA and heterotic E8 ˆ E8 five-branes. As a by-product, we provide a definition of the chiral fermionic fields for generic non-spin M5-brane worldvolume and determine the coupling between the self-dual field and the M-theory C-field.
