abstract
We find an intriguing relation between a class of 3-dimensional non-unitary topological field theories (TFTs) and Virasoro minimal models $M(2,2r+3)$ with $r \geq 1$. The TFTs are constructed by topologically twisting $3d$ ${\mathcal N}=4$ superconformal field theories (SCFTs) of rank-0, i.e. having zero-dimensional Coulomb and Higgs branches. We present ultraviolet (UV) field theory descriptions of the SCFTs with manifest ${\mathcal N}=2$ supersymmetry, which we argue is enhanced to ${\mathcal N}=4$ in the infrared. From the UV description, we compute various partition functions of the TFTs and reproduce some basic properties of the minimal models, such as their characters and modular matrices. We expect more general correspondence between topologically twisted $3d$ ${\mathcal N}=4$ rank-0 SCFTs and $2d$ non-unitary rational conformal field theories.

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...

Non-unitary Haagerup-like TQFTs and RCFTs from generalized S-fold SCFTs
The authors propose modular S and T matrices and boundary RCFT characters for non-unitary TQFTs from generalized S-fold SCFTs, matching Haagerup-Izumi data for special parameter values.

R-Twisting, Fibered Knots, and Gauge Theories
R-twisting scales the R-symmetry circle angle by mn/(m+n), turning Argyres–Douglas Seiberg–Witten curves into mapping tori of (m,n) torus knots that label 3d gauge theories.

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.
