Anomaly matching on the Higgs branch

Anomaly matching on the Higgs branch

Abstract We point out that we can almost always determine by the anomaly matching the full anomaly polynomial of a supersymmetric theory in 2d, 4d or 6d if we assume that its Higgs branch is the one-instanton moduli space of some group G. This method not only provides by far the simplest method to c...
