abstract

We study coupled unitary Virasoro minimal models in the large rank ($m \rightarrow \infty$) limit. In large $m$ perturbation theory, we find two non-trivial IR fixed points which exhibit irrational coefficients in several anomalous dimensions and the central charge. For $N>4$ copies, we show that the IR theory breaks all possible currents that would otherwise enhance the Virasoro algebra, up to spin 10. This provides strong evidence that the IR fixed points are examples of compact, unitary, irrational CFTs with the minimal amount of chiral symmetry. We also analyze anomalous dimension matrices for a family of degenerate operators with increasing spin. These display further evidence of irrationality and begin to reveal the form of the leading quantum Regge trajectory.

  1. Universality of the microcanonical entropy at large spin

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    For any twist interval at or above (c-1)/12, the large-spin operator density matches the vacuum-block prediction with relative error vanishing faster than any power, using a twist window that may shrink as J^{-1/4+epsilon}.

  2. Descending into the Modular Bootstrap

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Numerical search finds candidate modular-invariant spectra with integer degeneracies for 1 < c < 8/7 and hints at a stronger gap bound near c = 1.

  3. A systematic search for conformal field theories in very small spaces

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A symmetry-free entropy search on four-site states recovers known CFTs and yields unclassified candidate CFTs with 1<c<2.

  4. Redundancy Channels in the Conformal Bootstrap

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Redundant operators motivate spectral gaps that block accidental symmetry enhancement, yielding the first bootstrap island for the 3D cubic CFT that excludes the O(3) model.

  5. Coupled minimal models revisited II: Constraints from permutation symmetry

    hep-th 2024-12 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    For coupled large-m minimal models with N=5,6,7, every permutation-charged current below spin 10 acquires an anomalous dimension, so the IR fixed points show no extended chiral algebra in that range.

  6. Irrational CFTs from coupled anyon chains with non-invertible symmetries?

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    DMRG evidence from three coupled Fibonacci anyon chains points to a conformal phase with c=2.10±0.03, proposed as a candidate irrational CFT, though small system sizes leave a weakly first-order alternative open.

  7. Minimal Models RG flows: non-invertible symmetries & non-perturbative description

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A three-parameter NLIE family is conjectured to encode exact ground-state energies for anomaly-matched RG flows between Virasoro minimal models, generalizing known integrable cases.

  8. Modern Approach to 2D Conformal Field Theory

    hep-th 2024-12 unverdicted novelty 1.0 of 10

    A review-style lecture note collection presenting modern bootstrap methods for irrational 2D CFTs, with no new research results.
