Unitary subsector of generalized minimal models

Abstract: We revisit the line of nonunitary theories that interpolate between the Virasoro minimal models. Numerical bootstrap applications have brought about interest in the four-point function involving the scalar primary of lowest dimension. Using recent progress in harmonic analysis on the conformal group, we prove the conjecture that global conformal blocks in this correlator appear with positive coefficients. We also compute many such coefficients in the simplest mixed correlator system. Finally, we comment on the… Show more

“…This is consistent with the expectation that such multiplets may be identified with the existence of a mixed branch[53]. Although this is not conclusive evidence for the absence of this multiplet, we take it as an indication that if there are multiple solutions to the crossing equations7 See, however,[76] for subtitles that arise when considering systems of mixed correlators 8. Various limits of the superconformal index of Argyres-Douglas theories had been obtained before in[70,[78][79][80].…”

“…We will set d = 4 throughout in order to work with a correlator system that involves 3d conformal blocks. 17 As discussed in [44,45], similar problems with 2d blocks often require more experimentation with the gaps being imposed. These works are concerned with maximizing the gap in the scalar sector, and indeed, we can provide a nice preview of our results by doing the same.…”

“…We will obtain a unified picture of D-series minimal models as special cases of CFTs that depend smoothly on the central charge. Having a picture of the space of consistent CFTs, and not just of isolated points such as minimal models, is particularly important when using solvable CFTs as testing grounds for numerical bootstrap techniques [3].…”
