Abstract: We explain when and why symmetries enhance in fermionic rational conformal field theories. In order to achieve the goal, we first clarify invariants under renormalization group flows. In particular, we find the Ocneanu rigidity is not enough to protect some quantities. Concretely, while (double) braidings are subject to the rigidity, they jump at conformal fixed points. The jump happens in a specific way, so the double braiding relation further constrains renormalization group flows. The new constraints enable us three things; 1) to predict infrared conformal dimensions in massless flow, 2) to reveal some structures of the theory space, and 3) to obtain a necessary condition for a flow to be massless. We also find scaling dimensions ``monotonically decrease along massless flows. Combining the discovery with predictions, sometimes, we can uniquely fix infrared conformal dimensions.
