In this work we revisit the “holomorphic modular bootstrap”, i.e. the classification of rational conformal field theories via an analysis of the modular differential equations satisfied by their characters. By making use of the representation theory of PSL(2,Zn), we describe a method to classify allowed central charges and weights (c, hi) for theories with any number of characters d. This allows us to avoid various bottlenecks encountered previously in the literature, and leads to a… Expand

Classification of RCFT from Holomorphic Modular Bootstrap: A Status Report
Following the initial proposal in 1988, there has been much progress in classifying Rational Conformal Field Theories in 2 dimensions from the Holomorphic Bootstrap approach. This method starts byExpand
Differential equations for rational conformal characters
Abstract The characters of a rational conformal field theory are the solutions of a modular invariant differential equation. We cast this equation into a form in which the independent variable is notExpand
