Relation between chiral central charge and ground-state degeneracy in ( 2 + 1 ) -dimensional topological orders

A bosonic topological order on $d$-dimensional closed space $\Sigma^d$ may have degenerate ground states. The space $\Sigma^d$ with different shapes (different metrics) form a moduli space ${\cal M}_{\Sigma^d}$. Thus the degenerate ground states on every point in the moduli space ${\cal M}_{\Sigma^d...
