Description
I will discuss universal properties of partition functions at high temperature and large angular fugacity in d>2 conformal field theories (CFTs). This provides spin-refined information -- namely the statistics of spins of local operators -- valid for all CFTs, that in some sense generalizes modular invariance of d=2 CFTs. As an example application, I will show that the effective free energy of even-spin minus odd-spin operators at high temperature is smaller than the usual free energy by a factor of 1/2^d.
