The kernel of the modular representation and the Galois action in RCFT
read the original abstract
It is shown that for the modular representations associated to Rational Conformal Field Theories, the kernel is a congruence subgroup whose level equals the order of the Dehn-twist. An explicit algebraic characterization of the kernel is given. It is also shown that the conductor, i.e. the order of the Dehn-twist is bounded by a function of the number of primary fields, allowing for a systematic enumeration of the modular representations coming from RCFTs. Restrictions on the spectrum of the Dehn-twist and arithmetic properties of modular matrix elements are presented.

Two approaches to the holomorphic modular bootstrap
A vector-valued modular form construction generates new admissible solutions for rational CFT classification from known RCFTs, reproducing all known two-character solutions with Wronskian indices 6 and 8 while extendi...

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...

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 assoc...

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.
