Abstract

We study constraints imposed by the Galilean invariance on linear electromagnetic and elastic responses of two-dimensional gapped systems in a background magnetic field. Exact relations between response functions following from the Ward identities are derived. In addition to the viscosity-conductivity relations known in the literature, we find new relations between the density-curvature response and the thermal Hall response.
