We consider discrete random fractal surfaces with negative Hurst exponent
$H<0$. A random colouring of the lattice is provided by activating the sites at
which the surface height is greater than a given level $h$. The set of
activated sites is usually denoted as the excursion set. The connected
components of this set, the level clusters, define a one-parameter ($H$) family
of percolation models with long-range correlation in the site occupation. The
level clusters percolate at a finite value $h=h_c$ and for $H\leq-\frac{3}{4}$
the phase transition is expected to remain in the same universality class of
the pure (i.e. uncorrelated) percolation. For $-\frac{3}{4}<H< 0$ instead,
there is a line of critical points with continously varying exponents. The
universality class of these points, in particular concerning the conformal
invariance of the level clusters, is poorly understood. By combining the
Conformal Field Theory and the numerical approach, we provide new insights on
these phases. We focus on the connectivity function, defined as the probability
that two sites belong to the same level cluster. In our simulations, the
surfaces are defined on a lattice torus of size $M\times N$. We show that the
topological effects on the connectivity function make manifest the conformal
invariance for all the critical line $H<0$. In particular, exploiting the
anisotropy of the rectangular torus ($M\neq N$), we directly test the presence
of the two components of the traceless stress-energy tensor. Moreover, we probe
the spectrum and the structure constants of the underlying Conformal Field
Theory. Finally, we observed that the corrections to the scaling clearly point
out a breaking of integrability moving from the pure percolation point to the
long-range correlated one.

We perform Monte-Carlo computations of four-point cluster connectivities in
the critical 2d Potts model, for numbers of states $Q\in (0,4)$ that are not
necessarily integer. We compare these connectivities to four-point functions in
a CFT that interpolates between D-series minimal models. We find that 3
combinations of the 4 independent connectivities agree with CFT four-point
functions, down to the $2$ to $4$ significant digits of our Monte-Carlo
computations. However, we argue that the agreement is exact only in the special
cases $Q=0, 3, 4$. We conjecture that the Potts model can be analytically
continued to a double cover of the half-plane $\{\Re c <13\}$, where $c$ is the
central charge of the Virasoro symmetry algebra.

We study four-point functions of critical percolation in two dimensions, and
more generally of the Potts model. We propose an exact ansatz for the spectrum:
an infinite, discrete and non-diagonal combination of representations of the
Virasoro algebra. Based on this ansatz, we compute four-point functions using a
numerical conformal bootstrap approach. The results agree with Monte-Carlo
computations of connectivities of random clusters.
