Neutron Electric Dipole Moment at Fixed Topology

We describe the finite volume effects of CP-odd quantities, such as the neutron electric dipole moment and the anapole moment in the $θ$-vacuum, under different topological sectors. We evaluate the three-point Green's functions for the electromagnetic current in a fixed non-trivial topological sector in order to extract these CP-odd observables. We discuss the role of zero modes in the CP-odd Green's function and show that, in the quenched approximation, there is a power divergence in the quark mass for CP-odd quantities at finite volume.
