Use the charges $q_{\lambda }=N-4$ and $q_{\psi }=-(N-2)$ and the index convention $I(\mathbf{p})=1$. The $N$ gauge-colour copies of the flavour fundamental $\psi$ giveSumming the charge cubed and the charge over all Weyl components givesEach of these four coefficients is an ultraviolet 't Hooft anomaly.

A gauge anomaly makes the gauge symmetry inconsistent and must cancel. An Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomaly breaks a classical global chiral symmetry quantum mechanically but does not by itself invalidate the gauge theory. A 't Hooft anomaly is an obstruction to gauging a global symmetry; it remains invariant along renormalization-group flow and constrains the infrared spectrum or symmetry-breaking pattern.

The three Weyl components form one fundamental representation of the global $SU(3)$, so coupling $G$ to background gauge fields reveals a nonzero $SU(3{)}^3$ 't Hooft anomaly. This does not destroy the global symmetry in flat space or make the theory inconsistent; it constrains any infrared description through 't Hooft anomaly matching. If $G$ were instead intended as a dynamical gauge symmetry, the same uncancelled gauge anomaly would make the model inconsistent and additional chiral matter would be required. Ordinary quantum corrections cannot generate the forbidden superpotential, and the non-renormalization theorem protects its absence.
