Gauge anomaly cancellations in SU(2)L × U(1)Y Electroweak theory on the lattice
Abstract
We consider the cohomological classification of the 4+2-dimensional topological field, which is proposed by L\"uscher, for SU(2)L × U(1)Y electroweak theory. The dependence on the admissible abelian gauge field of U(1)Y is determined through topological argument, with SU(2)L gauge field fixed as background. We then show the exact cancellation of the local gauge anomaly of the mixed type SU(2)L2 × U(1)Y at finite lattice spacing, as well as U(1)Y3, using the pseudo reality of SU(2)L and the anomaly cancellation conditions in the electroweak theory given in terms of the hyper-charges of U(1)Y.
