Recently Witten conjectured the existence of a family of "extremal" conformal field theories (ECFTs) of central charge c=24k, which are supposed to be dual to three-dimensional pure quantum gravity in AdS3. Assuming their existence, we determine explicitly the genus two partition functions of k=2 and k=3 ECFTs, using modular invariance and the behavior of the partition function in degenerating limits of the Riemann surface. The result passes highly nontrivial tests and in particular provides a piece of evidence for the existence of the k=3 ECFT. We also argue that the genus two partition function of ECFTs with k<11 are uniquely fixed (if they exist).

Universality in the OPE Coefficients of Holographic 2d CFTs
Universal averaged OPE coefficient asymptotics in large-central-charge 2D CFTs extend to Δ>c/6 only under specific sparseness conditions; the C^2_HLL formula requires the stricter ρ(Δ)≲e^{πΔ}, which permutation orbifo...
