Non-hyperbolic 3-manifolds and bulk field theories for supersymmetric/$W_N$ minimal models
Abstract
Building on the work of Gang, Kang, and Kim arXiv:2405.16377, we propose 3D bulk dual field theories for 2D supersymmetric minimal models and algebra minimal models . We associate to a Seifert fibered space with , and for a Seifert fibered space with , and realize the bulk theory via the 3D-3D correspondence. For the unitary series, the bulk theory flows in the IR to a gapped phase which, under suitable boundary conditions, supports the unitary chiral minimal model on the boundary. For the non-unitary series, the bulk theory flows to the 3D superconformal field theory whose topological twist yields a non-unitary topological field theory supporting the non-unitary chiral minimal model on the boundary under appropriate boundary conditions. We also propose UV gauge theory descriptions of the bulk theories obtained by gluing building blocks. For , we provide non-trivial consistency checks -- matching between various bulk partition functions and boundary conformal data -- while for , we present preliminary checks and leave further consistency checks for future work.
