Anomalies of QFTs from M-theory and holography

Abstract We describe a systematic way of computing the ’t Hooft anomalies for continuous symmetries of Quantum Field Theories in even dimensions that can be geometrically engineered from M5-branes. Our approach is based on anomaly inflow, and characterizes the anomaly polynomial of the QFT in terms...
