Notes from the bulk: Metric dependence of the edge states of Chern-Simons theory
The Abelian Chern-Simons theory is considered on a cylindrical spacetime R×D, in a not necessarily flat Lorentzian background. As in the flat bulk case with planar boundary, we find that also on the radial boundary of a curved background a Kaç-Moody algebra exists, with the same central charge as in...
