Abstract: We compute the conformal anomaly of free d=6 superconformal (2,0) tensor multiplet on generic curved background. Up to a trivial covariant total-derivative term, it is given by the sum of the type A part proportional to the 6-d Euler density, and the type B part containing three independent Weyl invariants. Multiplied by factor 4N^3, the type B part of the anomaly reproduces exactly the corresponding part of the conformal anomaly of large N multiple M5-brane (2,0) theory as predicted (hep-th/9806087) by the AdS/CFT correspondence. The coefficients of the type A anomaly differ by the factor 4/7 x 4 N^3, so that the free tensor multiplet anomaly does not vanish on a Ricci-flat background. The coefficient 4N^3 is the same as found (hep-th/9703040) in the comparison of the tensor multiplet theory and the d=11 supergravity results for the absorption cross-sections of gravitons by M5 branes, and in the comparison (hep-th/9911135) of 2- and 3-point stress tensor correlators of the free tensor multiplet with the AdS_7 supergravity predictions. The reason for this coincidence is that the three Weyl-invariant terms in the anomaly are related to the and terms in the near flat space expansion of the corresponding non-local effective action, and thus to the 2-point and 3-point stress tensor correlators in flat background. At the same time, the type A anomaly is related to the term in the non-local part of the effective action, i.e. to a certain structure in the 4-point correlation function of stress tensors.
