Abstract

We explain why the surprising one-loop finiteness of 6D half-maximal supergravities recently discovered by Huang et al [1] is the result of the cancellation of the six-dimensional gravitational and gauge anomalies in (2,0) supergravity with 21 tensor multiplets and (1,1) supergravity with 20 vector multiplets.
