Abstract

We study the anomalies of a charge Q2 self-dual string solution in the Coulomb branch of Q5 M5-branes. Cancellation of these anomalies allows us to determine the anomaly of the zero-modes on the self-dual string and their scaling with Q2 and Q5. The dimensional reduction of the five-brane anomalous couplings then lead to certain anomalous couplings for D-branes.
