Abstract

 I will present a classification of all unitary, rational conformal field theories with two primaries, central charge c < 25, and arbitrary Wronskian index.  (Work in collaboration with Brandon Rayhaun, arXiv: 2208.05486). These are shown to be either certain level-1 WZW models or cosets of meromorphic theories by such models. By leveraging the existing classification of  meromorphic CFTs of central charge c ≤ 24, all the relevant cosets are enumerated and their characters computed. This leads to 123 theories, most of which are new. It will be emphasised that this is a classification of RCFTs and not just consistent characters. Related recent work with Arpit Das and Chethan Gowdigere will also be surveyed.
