Abstract: We introduce a natural mathematical definition of boundary states of a bulk gapped ground state in the operator algebraic framework of 2-D quantum spin systems. With the approximate Haag duality at the boundary, we derive a C*-tensor category M out of such boundary state. Under a non-triviality condition of the braiding in the bulk, we show that the Drinfeld center (with an asymptotic constraint) of M is equivalent to the bulk braided C*-tensor category.
