Symmetry acting on a (2+1)D topological order can be anomalous in the sense that they possess an obstruction to being realized as a purely (2+1)D on-site symmetry.In this paper, we develop a (3+1)D topological quantum field theory to calculate the anomaly indicators of a (2+1)D topological order with a general symmetry group G, which may be discrete or continuous, Abelian or non-Abelian, contain anti-unitary elements or not, and permute anyons or not.These anomaly indicators are partition functions of the (3+1)D topological quantum field theory on a specific manifold equipped with some G-bundle, and they are expressed using the data characterizing the topological order and the symmetry actions.Our framework is applied to derive the anomaly indicators for various symmetry groups, including, where Z2 and Z T 2 denote a unitary and anti-unitary order-2 group, respectively, and O(N ) T denotes a symmetry group O(N ) such that elements in O(N ) with determinant -1 are anti-unitary.In particular, we demonstrate that some anomaly of O(N ) T and SO(N ) × Z T 2 exhibit symmetry-enforced gaplessness, i.e., they cannot be realized by any symmetry-enriched topological order.As a byproduct, for SO(N ) symmetric topological orders, we derive their SO(N ) Hall conductance.
