Description
The structure of chiral anomalies in braneworlds is subtle. The divergence of a 5D current has long been known to be localized to end-of-the world branes, and to be evenly divided between these branes. However, such branes may be hidden by horizons, or may even be replaced by soft-wall geometries in certain cases. We demonstrate the correct approach, particularly in models motivated by the AdS/CFT correspondence, is to flow the anomaly with appropriate Chern-Simons terms so that only the UV, or "cut-off" brane contains the anomaly.
