abstract
We propose a novel procedure of assigning a pair of non-unitary topological quantum field theories (TQFTs), TFT$_\pm [\mathcal{T}_{\rm rank \;0}]$, to a (2+1)D interacting $\mathcal{N}=4$ superconformal field theory (SCFT) $\mathcal{T}_{\rm rank \;0}$ of rank 0, i.e. having no Coulomb and Higgs branches. The topological theories arise from particular degenerate limits of the SCFT. Modular data of the non-unitary TQFTs are extracted from the supersymmetric partition functions in the degenerate limits. As a non-trivial dictionary, we propose that $F = \max_\alpha \left(- \log |S^{(+)}_{0\alpha}| \right) = \max_\alpha \left(- \log |S^{(-)}_{0\alpha}|\right)$, where $F$ is the round three-sphere free energy of $\mathcal{T}_{\rm rank \;0 }$ and $S^{(\pm)}_{0\alpha}$ is the first column in the modular S-matrix of TFT$_\pm$. From the dictionary, we derive the lower bound on $F$, $F \geq -\log \left(\sqrt{\frac{5-\sqrt{5}}{10}} \right) \simeq 0.642965$, which holds for any rank 0 SCFT. The bound is saturated by the minimal $\mathcal{N}=4$ SCFT proposed by Gang-Yamazaki, whose associated topological theories are both the Lee-Yang TQFT. We explicitly work out the (rank 0 SCFT)/(non-unitary TQFTs) correspondence for infinitely many examples.

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

Symplectic Chern-Simons theories dual to Abelian rank-$0$ theories
A conjectured exact infrared duality links USp(2n) Chern-Simons matter theories with one fundamental chiral to Abelian rank-0 theories T_{ell,n}, supported by matching vacuum counts and indices in several cases.

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

Three-dimensional TQFTs from Argyres--Douglas theories via the 3d/3d correspondence
The twisted circle reduction of the (A1,A2n) Argyres-Douglas theory is realized as a DGG abelian Chern-Simons-matter theory on the lens space L(2n+3,2k), with maximal (one-less-than-maximal) monopole superpotential fl...

3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ Mirror Symmetry, TQFTs, and 't Hooft Anomaly Matching
Universal mass deformations of 3d N=4 Abelian gauge theories flow to Abelian spin Chern-Simons TQFTs, with mirror symmetry descending to proven level-rank dualities and 't Hooft anomalies matched via vison fractionalization.

A Bound on 3d Mirror Pairs
New 3d mirror pairs are proposed for ABCD-type quivers with mixed U/SU nodes, and it is conjectured that unitary quivers containing exceptional affine Dynkin subquivers have no Lagrangian quiver mirror.

An exceptionally simple family of Orthosymplectic 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ rank-0 SCFTs
A new family of 3d N=4 orthosymplectic quiver theories has trivial Higgs branches and non-trivial Coulomb branches; the smallest full moduli space is two copies of the one-F4 instanton moduli space.
