Under the assumption that degenerate fields exist, diagonal CFTs such as Liouville theory can be solved analytically using the conformal bootstrap method. Here we generalize this approach to non-diagonal CFTs, i.e. CFTs whose primary fields have nonzero conformal spins. Assuming generic values of the central charge, we find that the non-diagonal sector of the spectrum must be parametrized by two integer numbers. We then derive and solve the equations that determine how three- and four-point structure constants depend on these numbers. In order to test these results, we numerically check crossing symmetry of a class of four-point functions in a non-rational limit of D-series minimal models. The simplest four-point functions in this class were previously argued to describe connectivities of clusters in the critical Potts model.

  1. Toward the Structure Constants of $\mathcal{N}=2$ Liouville Theory

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    N=2 Liouville structure constants are proposed via mirror symmetry to the SL(2)_k/U(1) supercoset, with angular-momentum-violating sectors given explicitly and tested semiclassically to leading loop order.

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    A lecture-note review unifying the exactly solvable 2d CFTs without extended chiral symmetry under the bootstrap framework, with a conjectural roadmap for solving the loop CFTs.
