Modular Constraints on Superconformal Field Theories
read the original abstract
We constrain the spectrum of $\mathcal{N}=(1, 1)$ and $\mathcal{N}=(2, 2)$ superconformal field theories in two-dimensions by requiring the NS-NS sector partition function to be invariant under the $\Gamma_\theta$ congruence subgroup of the full modular group $SL(2, \mathbb{Z})$. We employ semi-definite programming to find constraints on the allowed spectrum of operators with or without $U(1)$ charges. Especially, the upper bounds on the twist gap for the non-current primaries exhibit interesting peaks, kinks, and plateau. We identify a number of candidate rational (S)CFTs realized at the numerical boundaries and find that they are realized as the solutions to modular differential equations associated to $\Gamma_\theta$. Some of the candidate theories have been discussed by H\"ohn in the context of self-dual extremal vertex operator (super)algebra. We also obtain bounds for the charged operators and study their implications to the weak gravity conjecture in AdS$_3$.

Unlocking the Wronskian Tower: A Simplification of the Holomorphic Modular Bootstrap
A differential operator Θ = η^{-4}D relates MLDE solutions across Wronskian sectors, reducing higher-ℓ quasi-character classification in ranks 2 and 3 to ℓ=0 data and proving the ℓ=2 sign conjecture.
