More on Wilson toroidal networks and torus blocks

Abstract

We consider the Wilson line networks of the Chern-Simons $3d$ gravity theory with toroidal boundary conditions which calculate global conformal blocks of degenerate quasi-primary operators in torus $2d$ CFT. After general discussion that summarizes and further extends results known in the literature we explicitly obtain the one-point torus block and two-point torus blocks through particular matrix elements of toroidal Wilson network operators in irreducible finite-dimensional representations of $sl(2,\mathbb{R})$ algebra. The resulting expressions are given in two alternative forms using different ways to treat multiple tensor products of $sl(2,\mathbb{R})$ representations: (1) $3mj$ Wigner symbols and intertwiners of higher valence, (2) totally symmetric tensor products of the fundamental $sl(2,\mathbb{R})$ representation.
