Non-hyperbolic 3-manifolds and 3D field theories for 2D Virasoro minimal models
Abstract
Using 3D-3D correspondence, we construct 3D dual bulk field theories for general Virasoro minimal models . These theories correspond to Seifert fiber spaces with two integers satisfying . In the unitary case, where , the bulk theory has a mass gap and flows to a unitary topological field theory (TQFT) in the IR, which is expected to support the chiral Virasoro minimal model at the boundary under an appropriate boundary condition. For the non-unitary case, where , the bulk theory flows to a 3D rank-0 superconformal field theory, whose topologically twisted theory supports the chiral minimal model at the boundary. We also provide a concrete field theory description of the 3D bulk theory using theories. Our proposals are supported by various consistency checks using 3D-3D relations and direct computations of various partition functions.
