Topologically Protected Duality on The Boundary of Maxwell-BF Theory

The Maxwell-BF theory with a single-sided planar boundary is considered in Euclidean four-dimensional spacetime. The presence of a boundary breaks the Ward identities, which describe the gauge symmetries of the theory, and, using standard methods of quantum field theory, the most general boundary co...
