Virasoro algebras, kinematic space and the spectrum of modular Hamiltonians in CFT2

Abstract 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 eigenmo...
