The bulk-edge correspondence links the Chern topological numbers with the net number of unidirectional states supported at an interface of the relevant materials. This fundamental principle is perhaps the most consequential result of topological photonics, as it determines the precise physical manifestations of nontrivial topological features. Even though the bulk-edge correspondence has been extensively discussed and used in the literature, it seems that in the general photonic case with dispersive materials it has no solid mathematical foundation and is essentially a conjecture. Here, I present a rigorous physically-motivated demonstration of this fundamental principle by showing that the thermal fluctuationinduced light-angular momentum spectral density in a closed cavity can be expressed in terms of the photonic gap Chern number, as well as in terms of the net number of unidirectional edge states. In particular, I highlight the rather fundamental connections between topological numbers in Chern-type photonic insulators and the fluctuation-induced light momentum.
