Holographic variables for CFT conformal blocks with heavy operators
K. B. Alkalaev, Mikhail Pavlov
We consider large- -point Virasoro blocks with background heavy operators and perturbative heavy operators. Conformal dimensions of heavy operators scale linearly w…

Four-point conformal blocks with three heavy background operators
K. B. Alkalaev, Mikhail Pavlov
We study CFT Virasoro conformal blocks of the 4-point correlation function with three background oper…

Perturbative classical conformal blocks as Steiner trees on the hyperbolic disk
K. B. Alkalaev, Mikhail Pavlov
We consider the Steiner tree problem in hyperbolic geometry in the context of the AdS/CFT duality between large- conformal blocks on the boundary and particle motions in the bul…
