We explore perturbative double field theory about time-dependent (cosmological) backgrounds to cubic order. To this order the theory is consistent in a weakly constrained sense, so that for a toroidal geometry it encodes both momentum and…

The bulk-edge correspondence principle, a cornerstone of topological physics, ensures that first-order topological systems host robust chiral edge states in two dimension. This was later extended to higher-order phases, where second-order…
