Description

I will discuss the recent construction of a family of 2d CFTs which are unitary, compact and irrational, with only Virasoro symmetry. These are the first robustly studied examples of c>1 2d CFTs with a gap in the twist of Virasoro primaries, which is a standard axiom used in deriving many universal properties of 2d CFTs.
Based on 2211.16503 and WIP with Connor Behan.
