Summary: • Dirac Monopole has solenoid singularity • Closed loop of solenoid is a string in D=3 • Conserved topological current dA • Chern-Simons term, AdA, generates topological current • Chern-Simons term promotes solenoid to a current loop • Solenoid is a charged particle world-line in D=1+2 • Its charge determines the Chern-Simons coefficient • Particle is a fermion for odd N • Spacelike slice on D=2 yields instanton • Compactify: fermions/axions on branes cancel anomalies • Consistent anomalies on boundary branes determined • Weyl fermion consistent anomaly coefficient from D=2 loop is dictated by D=3 Chern-Simons term coefficient • Violates KK-mode parity (T-parity); locks KK-modes to definite space parity
