Towards classical blocks with semi-degenerate operators

V. Belavin, Mikhail Pavlov

We consider 4-point classical blocks focusing on the blocks level-1 and level-2 semi-degenerate operators. We derive BPZ-type equations for the auxiliary 5-point blocks with…

Global torus blocks in the necklace channel

Mikhail Pavlov

We continue studying of global conformal blocks on the torus in a special (necklace) channel. Functions of such multi-point blocks are explicitly found under special conditions on…

Example of the -pt non-vacuum classical block

Mikhail Pavlov

In this note, we study a special case of the -pt non-vacuum classical block associated with the algebra. We formulate the monodromy problem for the block and der…

Torus conformal blocks and Casimir equations in the necklace channel

K. B. Alkalaev, Semyon Mandrygin, Mikhail Pavlov

We consider the conformal block decomposition in arbitrary exchange channels of a two-dimensional conformal field theory on a torus. The channels are described by diagrams built of…

Large- conformal -point blocks with superlight weights and holographic Steiner trees

Mikhail Pavlov

In this note we study CFT Virasoro conformal blocks with heavy operators in the large- limit in the context of AdS/CFT correspondence. We compute the lengths of the…

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…
