The self-dual string and anomalies in the M5-brane

We study the anomalies of a charge Q(2) self-dual string solution in the Coulomb branch Of Q(5) M5-branes. Cancellation of these anomalies allows us to determine the anomaly of the zero-modes on the self-dual string and their scaling with Q(2) and Q(5). The dimensional reduction of the five-brane anomalous couplings then lead to certain anomalous couplings for D-branes.
