abstract
We define Hecke operators on vector-valued modular forms of the type that appear as characters of rational conformal field theories (RCFTs). These operators extend the previously studied Galois symmetry of the modular representation and fusion algebra of RCFTs to a relation between RCFT characters. We apply our results to derive a number of relations between characters of known RCFTs with different central charges and also explore the relation between Hecke operators and RCFT characters as solutions to modular linear differential equations. We show that Hecke operators can be used to construct an infinite set of possible characters for RCFTs with two independent characters and increasing central charge. These characters have multiplicity one for the vacuum representation, positive integer coefficients in their $q$ expansions, and are associated to a two-dimensional representation of the modular group which leads to non-negative integer fusion coefficients as determined by the Verlinde formula.

The work proves that quasi-character coefficients have stabilizing alternating signs and estimates their growth near n ~ c/12 via Frobenius recursion on MLDEs, enabling candidate RCFT characters at arbitrary Wronskian index.
High-temperature limits on higher sheets of the superconformal index for (A1,A2n) Argyres-Douglas theories yield Gang-Kim-Stubbs 3d N=2 theories whose boundaries support Virasoro minimal model VOAs M(2,2n+3) and associated MTCs.
Admissible solutions to MLDEs with ≤6 characters and c_eff ≤24 are enumerated; tenable ones with good fusion rules are identified, with some linked to specific CFTs and MTC classes.

Quasi-Characters for three-character Rational Conformal Field Theories
All (3,0) admissible solutions are expressed via a universal _3F_2 hypergeometric formula; (3,3) solutions are built from them using Bantay-Gannon duality with only 7 of 15 having proper fusion rules, and further (3,6) and (3,9) solutions are generated as integer points on a polytope via quasi-char

Signs, growth and admissibility of quasi-characters and the holomorphic modular bootstrap for RCFT
The work proves that quasi-character coefficients have stabilizing alternating signs and estimates their growth near n ~ c/12 via Frobenius recursion on MLDEs, enabling candidate RCFT characters at arbitrary Wronskian index.

Bridging 4D QFTs and 2D VOAs via 3D high-temperature EFTs
High-temperature limits on higher sheets of the superconformal index for (A1,A2n) Argyres-Douglas theories yield Gang-Kim-Stubbs 3d N=2 theories whose boundaries support Virasoro minimal model VOAs M(2,2n+3) and associated MTCs.

Updating the holomorphic modular bootstrap
Admissible solutions to MLDEs with ≤6 characters and c_eff ≤24 are enumerated; tenable ones with good fusion rules are identified, with some linked to specific CFTs and MTC classes.
