I-brane inflow and anomalous couplings on D-branes

I-brane inflow and anomalous couplings on D-branes

We show that the anomalous couplings of $D$-brane gauge and gravitational fields to Ramond-Ramond tensor potentials can be deduced by a simple anomaly inflow argument applied to intersecting $D$-branes and use this to determine the eight-form gravitational coupling.
