Abstract

Using modular bootstrap we show the lightest primary fields of a unitary compact two dimensional conformal field theory(with c,cˉ>1c, \bar{c}>1) has a conformal weight h1c12+O(1)h_1\le \frac{c}{12}+\mathcal{O}(1).This implies that the upper bound on the dimension of the lightest primary fields depends on their spin. In particular if the set of lightest primary fields includes extremal or near extremal states whose spin to dimension ratio jΔ1\frac{j}{\Delta}\approx 1, the corresponding dimension is Δc12+O(1)\Delta\le \frac{c}{12}+\mathcal{O}(1). From AdS/CFT correspondence, we obtain an upper bound on the spectrum of black hole in three dimensional gravity. Our results show that if the first primary fields have large spin, the corresponding three dimensional gravity has extremal or near extremal BTZ black hole.
