Differential equations for classical Virasoro blocks with heavy and light operators

Abstract

In this note we study differential equations for classical blocks with heavy andlight operators. We present ODEs for the 4-pt blocks, generalizing the ODE for the 4-pt identity block, found by Fitzpatrick, Kaplan, Walters and Wang in [1].
