We find an analog of Zamolodchikov's c-theorem for disordered two dimensional noninteracting systems in their supersymmetric representation. For this purpose we introduce a new parameter b which flows along the renormalization group trajectories much like the central charge for unitary two dimensional field theories. However, it is not known yet if this flow is irreversible. b turns out to be related to the central extension of a certain algebra, a generalization of the Virasoro algebra, which we show may be present at the critical points of these theories. b is also related to the physical free energy of the disordered system defined on a cylinder. We discuss possible applications by computing b for two dimensional Dirac fermions with random gauge potential.

Logarithmic operators in $c=0$ bulk CFTs
The bulk energy four-point function in percolation and self-avoiding walk CFTs is non-zero at c=0, driven by coupling to a rank-3 Jordan block associated with the second energy operator.

Analytic Bootstrap for Logarithmic CFT
The leading large-spin anomalous dimension of double-trace operators in four-dimensional logarithmic CFTs behaves as γ0/ℓ^{τ_m}, where τ_m is the minimal twist, provided no operator has negative scaling dimension.
