Conformal a-charge, correlation functions and conical defects

In this note we demonstrate that, as we conjectured earlier in [1], the a-charge in the conformal anomaly in dimension $d=2n$ manifests in a $n$-point correlation function of energy momentum tensor of a CFT considered in flat spacetime with a conical defect. We consider in detail dimensions $d=2,, 4,, 6$andgiveageneralformulaforarbitrary$n$.
