abstract

We study general perturbations of two-dimensional conformal field theories by holomorphic fields. It is shown that the genus one partition function is controlled by a contact term (pre-Lie) algebra given in terms of the operator product expansion. These models have applications to vertex operator algebras, two-dimensional QCD, topological strings, holomorphic anomaly equations and modular properties of generalized characters of chiral algebras such as the $W_{1+\infty}$ algebra, that is treated in detail.

  1. Universal Modular Properties of Generalized Gibbs Ensembles and Chiral Deformations

    hep-th 2026-03 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Modular S-transforms of chirally deformed CFT partition functions are determined iteratively by second-order OPE poles of the deforming currents, with explicit multiplicities.

  2. Modular Properties of Symplectic Fermion Generalised Gibbs Ensemble

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Exact modular S-transforms are derived for GGEs in the symplectic fermion theory, agreeing with conjectures for the W3 zero mode and mirroring free-fermion results for the KdV subset.

  3. On W-algebras and ODE/IM correspondence

    hep-th 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The eigenvalues of quantum KdV-type charges in Virasoro, W3, and W4 algebras are computed from Bethe roots via WKB periods of Catalan curves, verified against direct CFT diagonalization.

  4. Modular Properties of $\mathcal{W}_3$ Generalised Gibbs Ensembles

    hep-th 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    A proposed asymptotic expansion for the modular S-transform of W_3 generalized Gibbs ensembles with a W_0 charge, supported by Zhu's recursion checks and exact results at c=-2.

  5. Equivariant Interpolations in Topological Holography

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Proposes solvable interpolations between small and large equivariant parameter regimes in Gromov-Witten theory on P1 as analogue for AdS3/CFT2 transitions, plus string theory embedding of P1 x C2 correspondence and Ja...
