Abstract

Based on the study of non-invertible symmetries, we propose there exist infinitely many new renormalization group flows between Virasoro minimal models M(kq+I,q)M(kqI,q)\mathcal{M}(kq + I, q) \to\mathcal{M}(kq-I, q) induced by ϕ(1,2k+1)\phi_{(1,2k+1)}. They vastly generalize the previously proposed ones k=I=1k=I=1 by Zamolodchikov, k=1,I>1k=1, I>1 by Ahn and L\"assig, and k=2k=2 by Dorey et al. All the other Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 preserving renormalization group flows sporadically known in the literature (e.g. M(10,3)M(8,3)\mathcal{M}(10,3) \to \mathcal{M}(8,3) studied by Klebanov et al) fall into our proposal (e.g. k=3,I=1k=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)q2SU(2)_{q-2} fusion ring.
