Boundary-bulk relation in topological orders

In this paper, we study the relation between an anomaly-free n+1 D topological order, which are often called n+1 D topological order in physics literature, and its n D gapped boundary phases. We argue that the n+1 D bulk anomaly-free topological order for a given n D gapped boundary phase is unique....
