abstract

Hecke operators relate characters of rational conformal field theories (RCFTs) with different central charges, and extend the previously studied Galois symmetry of modular representations and fusion algebras. We show that the conductor $N$ of a RCFT and the quadratic residues mod $N$ play an important role in the computation and classification of Galois permutations. We establish a field correspondence in different theories through the picture of effective central charge, which combines Galois inner automorphisms and the structure of simple currents. We then make a first attempt to extend Hecke operators to the full data of modular tensor categories. The Galois symmetry encountered in the modular data appears in the fusion and the braiding matrices as well, and yields isomorphic structures in theories related by Hecke operators.

  1. 3d $\mathcal N=4$ rank-zero mirror symmetry, TQFT interfaces, and Zagier duality of Nahm sums

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Zagier duality between the (E8,T1) and (T1,E8) Nahm systems is realized as 3d N=4 rank-zero mirror symmetry of two U(1)^8 Chern-Simons matter theories, with the duality interface generating the level-one E8 character.

  2. 3d $\mathcal{N}=$ 4 rank-0 SCFT from punctured lens space

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The Gang-Kim-Stubbs rank-0 SCFT is derived from the Dimofte-Gaiotto-Gukov construction on a punctured lens space, and a new family of theories plus a self-mirror conjecture are proposed from other lens spaces.

  3. Parafermionizing the Monster

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Parafermionization equates the Monster CFT to a gauged parafermion pair, yielding Rep(so(3)_p) symmetry and defect McKay-Thompson series invariant under Gamma_1(p+2).

    math.QA 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Admissible-level affine sl2 modules and rational Virasoro minimal-model modules have matching characters under the substitution (w,q) -> (q^{+/-1/2}, q^3).

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The unbroken fusion ring symmetry FR(SU(2)_{p-2}) stabilizes the massless RG flow M(p,p+1)->M(p-1,p) by making every invariant IR primary field irrelevant.

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    New classes of boundary and coupled conformal field theories are constructed from Z_N gauging, with a proposed dictionary to topological order, nonchiral anyons, and domain walls.
