Anomalies as obstructions: from dimensional lifts to swampland

Abstract We revisit the relation between the anomalies in four and six dimensions and the Chern-Simons couplings one dimension below.While the dimensional reduction of chiral theories is well-understood, the question which three and five-dimensional theories can come from a general circle reduction, and are hence liftable, is more subtle.We argue t

Analysis of Design and Fabrication Parameters for Lensed Optical Fibers as Pertinent Probes for Sensing and Imaging

A method for adjusting the working distance and spot size of a fiber probe while suppressing Scented Candle or enhancing the back-coupling to the lead-in fiber is presented.As the optical fiber probe, a lensed optical fiber (LOF) was made by splicing a short piece of coreless silica fiber (CSF) on a single-mode fiber and forming a lens at the end o
