摘要
In this paper we show that both of the Green-Schwarz anomaly factorization formula for the gauge group E8 × E8 and the Ho^ava-Witten anomaly factorization formula for the gauge group E8 can be derived through modular forms of weight 14. This answers a question of Schwarz. We also establish generalizations of these factorization formulas and obtain a new Horava-Witten type factorization formula.
