Meromorphic c=24 Conformal Field Theories
read the original abstract
Modular invariant conformal field theories with just one primary field and central charge $c=24$ are considered. It has been shown previously that if the chiral algebra of such a theory contains spin-1 currents, it is either the Leech lattice CFT, or it contains a Kac-Moody sub-algebra with total central charge 24. In this paper all meromorphic modular invariant combinations of the allowed Kac-Moody combinations are obtained. The result suggests the existence of 71 meromorphic $c=24$ theories, including the 41 that were already known.

Quasi-Characters for three-character Rational Conformal Field Theories

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