Abstract
In this Letter we continue the investigation of RG flows between Virasoro minimal models of two-dimensional conformal field theories that are protected by noninvertible symmetries. RG flows leaving unbroken a subcategory of noninvertible symmetries are associated with anomaly matching conditions that we employ systematically to map the space of flows between minimal models beyond the Z_{2}-symmetric proposed recently in the literature. We introduce a family of nonlinear integral equations that appear to encode the exact finite-size, ground-state energies of these flows, including nonintegrable cases, such as the recently proposed M(kq+I,q)→M(kq-I,q). Our family of NLIEs encompasses and generalizes the integrable flows known in the literature: ϕ_{(1,3)}, ϕ_{(1,5)}, ϕ_{(1,2)} and ϕ_{(2,1)}. This work uncovers a new interplay between exact solvability and noninvertible symmetries. Furthermore, our nonperturbative description provides a nontrivial test for all the flows conjectured by anomaly matching conditions, but so far not observed by other means.
