Global anomalies on Lorentzian space-times

Schenkel, Alexander; Zahn, Jochen

Abstract

We formulate an algebraic criterion for the presence of global anomalies on globally hyperbolic space-times in the framework of locally covariant field theory. We discuss some consequences and check that it reproduces the well-known global SU(2) anomaly in four space-time dimensions.
