Anomaly cancellation

i. Overview

In this module we do two things. The first is to define a proposition `IsAnomalyFree` on a `ChargeSpectrum` which states that the charge spectrum can be lifted to an anomaly-free `Quanta` with fluxes which do not have exotics.

We then find all the viable charges given a configuration of the sections in codimension one fiber `CodimensionOneConfig` that can be lifted to an anomaly-free `Quanta` with fluxes which do not have exotics.

- `IsAnomalyFree` : The proposition on a `ChargeSpectrum` that it can be lifted to an anomaly-free `Quanta` with fluxes which do not have exotics. - `viable_anomalyFree` : The viable charges given a configuration of the sections in codimension one fiber `CodimensionOneConfig` which can be lifted to an anomaly-free `Quanta` with fluxes which do not have exotics.

definition

Existence of an anomaly-free lift for a charge spectrum cc

For a given charge spectrum cc over a commutative ring Z\mathcal{Z} in the SU(5)×U(1)SU(5) \times U(1) F-theory model, the property `IsAnomalyFree` holds if there exists a configuration of quanta xx in the multiset of lifts liftCharge(c)\text{liftCharge}(c) that satisfies the linear anomaly cancellation condition. Specifically, there must exist an xx such that: qHdqHu+iqiNi+aqaNa=0 q_{H_d} - q_{H_u} + \sum_{i} q_i N_i + \sum_{a} q_a N_a = 0 where qHdq_{H_d} and qHuq_{H_u} are the U(1)U(1) charges of the Higgs fields, and the sums represent the contributions from the 5\overline{\mathbf{5}} and 10\mathbf{10} representations with charges qq and fluxes (multiplicities) NN. The lifting process ensures that the resulting quanta xx have no chiral exotics and no zero fluxes.

Decidability of `IsAnomalyFree c` for a charge spectrum cc

For a charge spectrum cc over a commutative ring Z\mathcal{Z} with decidable equality in the SU(5)×U(1)SU(5) \times U(1) F-theory model, the proposition `IsAnomalyFree c` is decidable. This property holds if there exists a configuration of quanta xx in the finite multiset of lifts liftCharge(c)\text{liftCharge}(c) that satisfies the linear anomaly cancellation condition: qHdqHu+iqiNi+aqaNa=0 q_{H_d} - q_{H_u} + \sum_{i} q_i N_i + \sum_{a} q_a N_a = 0 where qHdq_{H_d} and qHuq_{H_u} are the U(1)U(1) charges of the Higgs fields, and the sums represent the contributions from the 5\overline{\mathbf{5}} and 10\mathbf{10} representations with charges qq and multiplicities (fluxes) NN.

theorem

Ring Homomorphisms Preserve the Anomaly-Free Property of Charge Spectra

Let Z\mathcal{Z} and Z1\mathcal{Z}_1 be commutative rings, and let f:ZZ1f: \mathcal{Z} \to \mathcal{Z}_1 be a ring homomorphism. If a charge spectrum cc defined over Z\mathcal{Z} is anomaly-free, then the charge spectrum obtained by mapping all its charges under ff is also anomaly-free. A charge spectrum is anomaly-free if there exists a configuration of quanta xx (a lift of the spectrum) that satisfies the linear anomaly cancellation condition: qHdqHu+iqiNi+aqaNa=0 q_{H_d} - q_{H_u} + \sum_{i} q_i N_i + \sum_{a} q_a N_a = 0 where qHd,qHuq_{H_d}, q_{H_u} are Higgs charges and NN are the fluxes associated with the representation charges qq.

theorem

Classification of anomaly-free viable U(1)U(1) charge spectra in SU(5)SU(5) configurations

For a given codimension-one configuration II of sections σ0\sigma_0 and σ1\sigma_1 in an SU(5)SU(5) F-theory model, the multiset of viable U(1)U(1) charge spectra (denoted viableCharges(I)\text{viableCharges}(I)) that satisfy the anomaly-free condition IsAnomalyFree\text{IsAnomalyFree} is given by the following classification: 1. If I=sameI = \text{same}, the anomaly-free viable charge spectra are: {2,2,{3,1},{1},2,2,{1,1},{1},2,2,{1,1},{1},2,2,{1,3},{1}}\{\langle 2, -2, \{-3, -1\}, \{-1\}\rangle, \langle 2, -2, \{-1, 1\}, \{-1\}\rangle, \langle -2, 2, \{-1, 1\}, \{1\}\rangle, \langle -2, 2, \{1, 3\}, \{1\}\rangle\} 2. If I=nearestNeighborI = \text{nearestNeighbor}, the anomaly-free viable charge spectra are: {4,14,{6,11},{7},6,14,{9,1},{7},6,14,{1,11},{7},14,6,{1,11},{3}}\{\langle -4, -14, \{6, 11\}, \{-7\}\rangle, \langle 6, -14, \{-9, 1\}, \{-7\}\rangle, \langle 6, -14, \{1, 11\}, \{-7\}\rangle, \langle -14, 6, \{1, 11\}, \{3\}\rangle\} 3. If I=nextToNearestNeighborI = \text{nextToNearestNeighbor}, the anomaly-free viable charge spectra are: {2,12,{13,8},{6}}\{\langle 2, 12, \{-13, -8\}, \{6\}\rangle\} A charge spectrum is `IsAnomalyFree` if it can be lifted to a configuration of quanta that satisfies the linear anomaly cancellation condition qHdqHu+iqiNi+aqaNa=0q_{H_d} - q_{H_u} + \sum_{i} q_i N_i + \sum_{a} q_a N_a = 0.
