We systemically study the Hecke relations and the $c=8k$ coset relations among 2d rational conformal field theories (RCFTs) with up to seven characters. We propose that the characters of any 2d RCFT -- unitary or non-unitary -- satisfying a holomorphic modular linear differential equation (MLDE) can be realized as either a Hecke image or the coset of a Hecke image with respect to a $c=8k$ theory. Benefited from the recent results on holomorphic modular bootstrap, we check this proposal for all admissible theories with up to five characters. We also find many new interesting Hecke relations. For example, the characters of WZW models $(E_{6})_2,(E_7)_2,(E_{7\frac12})_2$ can be realized as the Hecke images $\mathsf{T}_{13},\mathsf{T}_{19},\mathsf{T}_{19}$ of Virasoro minimal models $M_{\rm sub}(7,6),M(5,4),M_{\rm eff}(13,2)$ respectively. Besides, we find the characters associated to the second largest Fisher group $Fi_{23}$ and the Harada-Norton group $HN$ can be realized as the Hecke images $\mathsf{T}_{23},\mathsf{T}_{19}$ of the product theories $M_{\rm eff}(5,2)\otimes M_{\rm eff}(7,2)$ and $M_{\rm eff}(7,2)^{\otimes 2}$ respectively. Mathematically, our study provides a great many interesting examples of vector-valued modular functions up to rank seven.

    All (3,0) admissible solutions are expressed via a universal _3F_2 hypergeometric formula; (3,3) solutions are built from them using Bantay-Gannon duality with only 7 of 15 having proper fusion rules, and further (3,6...

  4. Signs, growth and admissibility of quasi-characters and the holomorphic modular bootstrap for RCFT

    hep-th 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The work proves that quasi-character coefficients have stabilizing alternating signs and estimates their growth near n ~ c/12 via Frobenius recursion on MLDEs, enabling candidate RCFT characters at arbitrary Wronskian index.

  5. Updating the holomorphic modular bootstrap

    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.
