A note on the torque anomaly

High Energy Physics - Theory 2013-02-07 v1

Abstract

I reproduce, in the case of a conical geometry, the torque anomaly recently noted by Fulling, Mera and Trendafilova for the wedge. The expected conservation equation is obtained by a variational method and a mathematical cancellation of the anomaly is exhibited, motivated by the process of truncating the cone at some inner radius.
