Three-dimensional dynamics of four-dimensional topological BF theory with boundary

We consider the four-dimensional (4D) abelian topological BF theory with a planar boundary, following Symanzik's method. We find the most general boundary conditions compatible with the field equations broken by the boundary. The residual gauge invariance is described by means of two Ward ident...
