Anomaly constraint on chiral central charge of (2+1)d topological order

In this short paper, we argue that the chiral central charge c_{−} of a (2+1)d topological ordered state is sometimes strongly constrained by 't Hooft anomaly of antiunitary global symmetry. For example, if a (2+1)d fermionic topological quantum field theory (TQFT) has a time-reversal anomaly w...
