Abstract
For antisymmetric tensor gauge fields of rank 2n-1 coupled to gravity in 4n dimensions it is shown that the symmetry under duality rotations is broken by quantum effects. The anomaly is related to a local version of the signature index theorem. The ζ-function technique, Fujikawa’s method, and the stochastic regularization scheme are discussed.Keywords
