Abstract

In this paper we study the renormalization group flow of the (p,q)(p,q) minimal (non-unitary) CFT perturbed by the Φ1,3\Phi_{1,3} operator with a positive coupling. In the perturbative region q>>(qp)q>>(q-p), we find a new IR fixed point which corresponds to the (2pq,p)(2p-q,p) minimal CFT. The perturbing field near the new IR fixed point is identified with the irrelevent Φ3,1\Phi_{3,1} operator. We extend this result to show that the non-diagonal ((A,D)(A,D)-type) modular invariant partition function of the (p,q)(p,q) minimal CFT flows into the (A,D)(A,D)-type partition function of the (2pq,p)(2p-q,p) minimal CFT and the diagonal partition function into the diagonal.
