The critical $O(N)$ CFT in spacetime dimensions $2 < d < 4$ is one of the most important examples of a conformal field theory, with the Ising CFT at $N=1$, $2 \leq d < 4$, as a notable special case. Apart from numerous physical…

We consider a generalization of the double Liouville theory, which can be thought of as a two-parameter family of marginal deformations of the so-called Virasoro Minimal String (VMS). The latter consists of a timelike ($c_{-}<1$) and a…

We find an intriguing relation between a class of 3-dimensional non-unitary topological field theories (TFTs) and Virasoro minimal models $M(2,2r+3)$ with $r \geq 1$. The TFTs are constructed by topologically twisting $3d$ ${\mathcal N}=4$…
