Classifying gauge anomalies through symmetry-protected trivial orders and classifying gravitational anomalies through topological orders

In this paper, we systematically study gauge anomalies in bosonic and fermionic weak-coupling gauge theories with gauge group G (which can be continuous or discrete) in d space-time dimensions. We show a very close relation between gauge anomalies for gauge group G and symmetry-protected trivial (SP...
