Nous rappelons le modèle E8 de la 3-forme de M-théorie, et ses applications pour l'annulation des anomalies, lois de Gauss, quantification de la charge de Page, ainsi que pour la fonction de partition de la 5-brane. Nous envisageons le comportement potentiellement problématique du modèle sous la parité.

We review the E8 model of the M-theory 3-form, and its applications to anomaly cancellation, Gauss laws, quantization of Page charge, and the 5-brane partition function. We discuss the potentially problematic behavior of the model under parity.
