Twist Gap and Global Symmetry in Two Dimensions
Abstract
We show that every compact, unitary two-dimensional conformal field theory with an Abelian conserved current has vanishing twist gap for charged primary fields with respect to the u(1)×Virasoro algebra. This means that either the chiral algebra is enhanced by a charged primary field with zero twist or there is an infinite family of charged primary fields that accumulate to zero twist.
