Exotic Rational CFT and the Modular Bootstrap
📍 London
Sunil Mukhi
(IISER Pune)
Abstract:
I will summarise old and recent developments on the classification and solution of Rational Conformal Field Theories in 2 dimensions using the method of Modular Differential Equations. Novel and exotic theories are found with small numbers of characters and simple fusion rules, one of these being the Baby Monster CFT. Correlation functions for many of these theories can be computed using crossing-symmetric differential equations.
