In this question, RCFT means a unitary full rational two dimensional conformal field theory. As every unitary two dimensional conformal field theory, a RCFT has a central charge c which is a nonnegative real number. The rationality hypothesis implies that in fact c is a nonnegative rational number: c∈Q≥0.
Let C be the subset of Q≥0 made of rational numbers which are central charge of some RCFT. As it is possible to tensorize RCFTs, C is an additive subset of Q≥0.
For example, the intersection of C with the interval [0,1] is given by 0, 1/2, 7/10, 4/5,...., 1 i.e. by the central charges of the unitary minimal models union c=1. In particular, c=1 is an accumulation point of C.
My questions are:
Quantitative: Is the set C explicitely known ?
Qualitative: Is the set C closed in R ? Is it well-ordered ? If yes, what is its ordinal ? (for example, are there accumulation points of accumulation points...)
These questions have two motivations:
1) the claim that the RCFT's are classified: see for example http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/FRS-theorem+on+rational+2d+CFT
I did not go through this work but I would like to know if this classification is "abstract" or "concrete". In particular, I would like to know if it gives an answer to the previous questions.
2)Similar questions have been asked and solved for a different set of real numbers: the set of volumes of hyperbolic 3-manifolds. It seems to me that there is a (very vague at this moment) similarity between these two sets of real numbers.
