New Properties of Large-$c$ Conformal Blocks from Recursion Relation

Abstract

We study large $c$ conformal blocks outside the known limits. This work seems to be hard, but it is possible numerically by using the Zamolodchikov recursion relation. As a result, we find new some properties of large $c$ conformal blocks with a pair of two different dimensions for any channel and with various internal dimensions. With light intermediate states, we find a Cardy-like asymptotic formula for large $c$ conformal blocks and also we find that the qualitative behavior of various large $c$ blocks drastically changes when the dimensions of external primary states reach the value $c/32$. And we proceed to the study of blocks with heavy intermediate states $h_p$ and we find some simple dependence on heavy $h_p$ for large $c$ blocks. The results in this paper can be applied to, for example, the calculation of OTOC or Entanglement Entropy. In the end, we comment on the application to the conformal bootstrap in large $c$ CFTs.
