## Idea

A potential quantum anomaly in M-theory/type IIA string theory.

## References

### General

The anomaly was found in

while mostly assuming vanishing NS-fields (the B-field). The non-vanishing B-field in this context was considered in

where however the anomaly as such is not discussed. This was then put together in

which hence discusses the anomaly for twisted K-theory.
