In each Standard Model generation, quark and lepton hypercharges cancel the , , , , and mixed gauge-gravitational anomalies. The four left-handed doublets also avoid the global Witten anomaly.
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.
