One-loop gauge anomaly in type-I superstring theory

Description

The vanishing of the hexagon gauge anomaly of type-I superstring was shown previously by Green and Schwarz in the case that the gauge group is SO(32). The result, as well as the finiteness of the one-loop amplitude, makes the superstring theory a candidate for the unified theory including gravity. The vanishing of the gauge anomaly can be established for all N-point functions. The one-loop gauge anomaly is shown to be absent if the gauge group is SO(32). (orig.)
