I am just reading Ryu, Moore and Ludwig's paper on classifications of topological insulators and quantum anomaly(arXiv:1010.0936v1). They are trying to relate the quantum anomaly as a signal of the presence of a topological phase in higher dimension. However, the descent equation they used in their paper has the sign different from the usual descent equations. I am wondering why do they need to change the sign?
