6d Large Charge and 2d Virasoro Blocks
Abstract
We compute observables in the interacting rank-one 6d SCFT at large R-charge. We focus on correlators involving , namely symmetric products of the bottom component of the supermultiplet containing the stress-tensor. By using the moduli space effective action and methods from the large-charge expansion, we compute the OPE coefficients in an expansion in 1/n. The coefficients of the expansion are only partially determined from the 6d perspective, but we manage to fix them order-by-order in 1/n numerically by utilizing the 6d/2d correspondence. This is made possible by the fact that this observable can be extracted in 2d from a specific double-scaling limit of the vacuum Virasoro block, which can be efficiently computed numerically. We also extend the computation to higher-rank SCFTs, and discuss various applications of our results to 6d as well as 2d.
