One-generation hypercharge anomaly traces
ID: one-generation-hypercharge-anomaly-traces
In normalization , one Standard Model generation has left quark and lepton doublet hypercharges and , and right singlet hypercharges . Including colour multiplicity, . On every left doublet , and all right fields have , so the mixed weak-hypercharge gauge anomaly vanishes. The cubic left trace is , and the right trace is . Their difference is zero, proving generation-by-generation cancellation of these two anomalies.
