Improving Modular Bootstrap Bounds with Integrality
Abstract
We implement methods that efficiently impose integrality -- i.e., the condition that the coefficients of characters in the partition function must be integers -- into numerical modular bootstrap. We demonstrate the method with a number of examples where it can be used to strengthen modular bootstrap results. First, we show that, with a mild extra assumption, imposing integrality improves the bound on the maximal allowed gap in dimensions of operators in theories with a symmetry at , and reduces it to the value saturated by the WZW model point of Narain lattices moduli space. Second, we show that our method can be used to eliminate all but a discrete set of points saturating the bound from previous Virasoro modular bootstrap results. Finally, when central charge is close to , we can slightly improve the upper bound on the scaling dimension gap.
