Blackhole/blackring transition
Indranil Halder, Ying-Hsuan Lin
We consider BPS states in M theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau threefold with one Kähler parameter, and investigate their relation to blackholes and blackrings. On the microscopic…
Decoding stringy near-supersymmetric black holes
Chi-Ming Chang, Li Feng, Ying-Hsuan Lin +1
Building on the recent discovery of the first candidate black hole operator in super-Yang-Mills, we explore the near-supersymmetric aspects of the theory that captu…
Classification of chiral fermionic CFTs of central charge
Philip Boyle Smith, Ying-Hsuan Lin, Yuji Tachikawa +1
We classify two-dimensional purely chiral conformal field theories which are defined on two-dimensional surfaces equipped with spin structure and have central charge less than or e…

Ying-Hsuan Lin, Shu-Heng Shao
Using the numerical modular bootstrap, we constrain the space of 1+1d CFTs with a finite non-invertible global symmetry described by a fusion category . We derive univ…
Topological modularity of Supermoonshine
Jan Albert, Justin Kaidi, Ying-Hsuan Lin
The theory of topological modular forms (TMF) predicts that elliptic genera of physical theories satisfy a certain divisibility property, determined by the theory's gravitational a…
Words to describe a black hole
Chi-Ming Chang, Ying-Hsuan Lin
We revamp the constructive enumeration of 1/16-BPS states in the maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills in four dimensions, and search for ones that are not of multi-graviton form. A…

We explore connections among Monstrous Moonshine, orbifolds, the Kitaev chain and topological modular forms. Symmetric orbifolds of the Monster CFT, together with further orbifolds…
Bootstrapping the Ising Model on the Lattice
Minjae Cho, Barak Gabai, Ying-Hsuan Lin +3
We study the statistical Ising model of spins on the infinite lattice using a bootstrap method that combines spin-flip identities with positivity conditions, including reflection p…
Holomorphic CFTs and topological modular forms
Ying-Hsuan Lin, Du Pei
We use the theory of topological modular forms to constrain bosonic holomorphic CFTs, which can be viewed as SCFTs with trivial right-moving supersymmetric sector. A conjec…

We numerically study an anyon chain based on the Haagerup fusion category, and find evidence that it leads in the long-distance limit to a conformal field theory whose central char…

In this work we revisit the "holomorphic modular bootstrap", i.e. the classification of rational conformal field theories via an analysis of the modular differential equations sati…
