We provide a simple and general construction of infinite families of consistent, modular-covariant pairs of characters satisfying the basic requirements to describe two-character RCFT. These correspond to solutions of generic second-order modular linear differential equations. To find these solutions, we first construct "quasi-characters" from the Kaneko-Zagier equation and subsequent works by Kaneko and collaborators, together with coset dual generalisations that we provide in this paper. We relate our construction to the Hecke images recently discussed by Harvey and Wu.

    Generalized Schur partition functions Z_USp(2N)(q; alpha) for 4d N=2 USp(2N) theories satisfy order-(N+1) MLDEs with vanishing Wronskian index, alpha fixing MLDE parameters, with links to RCFT characters and a conject...

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.
