On discrete anomalies in chiral gauge theories

Abstract We study two well-known SU(N) chiral gauge theories with fermions in the symmetric, anti-symmetric and fundamental representations. We give a detailed description of the global symmetry, including various discrete quotients. Recent work argues that these theories exhibit a subtle mod 2 anom...
