Core Concepts
2次元有理共形場理論において、カイラル中心電荷がゼロであっても、高次中心電荷と呼ばれる新たな障害が共形境界条件や格子模型による実現を阻む場合がある。

熱ホール伝導率κ = π/6 * T * c− (Tは温度, c−はカイラル中心電荷)
U(1)2 × U(1)−4チャーン・サイモン理論のK行列: K = [[2, 0], [0,-4]]
U(1)2 × U(1)−4チャーン・サイモン理論のホール伝導率: σH = 1/(8π) * (2a² - b²) (a, bは整数)
Quotes
"In this paper, we answer both of these questions negatively. Our argument is based on earlier results obtained in Ref. [9] as well as a newly developed notion called higher central charges [15–19] and Witt equivalence of chiral CFTs [10]."
"In summary, higher central charges can serve as an obstruction to energy-conserving boundary conditions and lattice regularizations beyond gravitational anomaly."
