Abstract
In this note we demonstrate that, as we conjectured earlier in [1], the a-charge in the conformal anomaly in dimension manifests in a -point correlation function of energy momentum tensor of a CFT considered in flat spacetime with a conical defect. We consider in detail dimensions and give a general formula for arbitrary .
