摘要：

We deal with the problem of diffeomorphism anomaly in theories with branes. In particular we thoroughly analyze the problem of the residual chiral anomaly of a five-brane immersed in M-theory, paying attention to its global formulation in the five-brane world-volume. We conclude that the anomaly can be canceled by a local counterterm in the five-brane world-volume. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
