Abstract

A bstract Based on the study of non-invertible symmetries, we propose there exist infinitely many new renormalization group flows between Virasoro minimal models $$ \mathcal{M} $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>M</mml:mi> </mml:math> ( kq + I , q ) → $$ \mathcal{M} $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>M</mml:mi> </mml:math> ( kq – I , q ) induced by ϕ (1,2 k +1) . They vastly generalize the previously proposed ones k = I = 1 by Zamolodchikov, k = 1, I &gt; 1 by Ahn and Lässig, and k = 2 by Dorey et al. All the other ℤ 2 preserving renormalization group flows sporadically known in the literature (e.g. $$ \mathcal{M} $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>M</mml:mi> </mml:math> (10, 3) → $$ \mathcal{M} $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>M</mml:mi> </mml:math> (8, 3) studied by Klebanov et al) fall into our proposal (e.g. k = 3, I = 1). We claim our new flows give a complete understanding of the renormalization group flows between Virasoro minimal models that preserve a modular tensor category with the SU(2) q− 2 fusion ring.
