Decomposition of Conformal Blocks
In the Masters Project we give a complete proof of the Factorization theorem in Conformal Field Theory and Local freeness of the sheaf of conformal blocks. We apply these results to give a proof of the Verlinde formula. Except for the part on Verlinde formula (Chapter 8), we mostly follow the description given in [TUY]. For the Verlinde formula, we follow the article [Beau]. We do not claim any...
متن کاملConformal blocks for highly disparate scaling dimensions
We show that conformal blocks simplify greatly when there is a large difference between two of the scaling dimensions for external operators. In particular the spacetime dimension only appears in an overall constant which we determine via recurrence relations. Connections to the conformal bootstrap program and the AdS / CFT correspondence are also discussed. ar X iv :1 40 2. 56 98 v1 [ he pth ]...
متن کاملConformal blocks for AdS 5 singletons
We give a simple derivation of the conformal blocks of the singleton sector of compactifications of IIB string theory on spacetimes of the form X5×Y5 with Y5 compact, while X5 has as conformal boundary an arbitrary 4-manifold M4. We retain the second-derivative terms in the action for the B,C fields and thus the analysis is not purely topological. The unit-normalized conformal blocks agree exac...
متن کاملCasimir recursion relations for general conformal blocks
We study the structure of series expansions of general spinning conformal blocks. We find that the terms in these expansions are naturally expressed by means of special functions related to matrix elements of Spin(d) representations in Gelfand-Tsetlin basis, of which the Gegenbauer polynomials are a special case. We study the properties of these functions and explain how they can be computed in...
متن کاملProjectors, Shadows, and Conformal Blocks
We introduce a method for computing conformal blocks of operators in arbitrary Lorentz representations in any spacetime dimension, making it possible to apply bootstrap techniques to operators with spin. The key idea is to implement the “shadow formalism” of Ferrara, Gatto, Grillo, and Parisi in a setting where conformal invariance is manifest. Conformal blocks in d-dimensions can be expressed ...
