Virasoro algebras, kinematic space and the spectrum of modular Hamiltonians in \(\mathrm{CFT}_2\). (English) Zbl 1469.81058
Summary: We construct an infinite class of eigenmodes with integer eigenvalues for the Vacuum Modular Hamiltonian of a single interval \(N\) in 2d CFT and study some of its interesting properties, which includes its action on OPE blocks as well as its bulk duals. Our analysis suggests that these eigenmodes, like the OPE blocks have a natural description on the so called kinematic space of \(\mathrm{CFT}_2\) and in particular realize the Virasoro algebra of the theory on this kinematic space. Taken together, our results hints at the possibility of an effective description of the \(\mathrm{CFT}_2\) in the kinematic space language.
