A B\"acklund transformation for elliptic four-point conformal blocks

High Energy Physics - Theory 2018-08-15 v1

Abstract

We apply an integral transformation to solutions of a partial differential equation for five-point correlation functions in Liouville theory on a sphere with one degenerate field V12bV_{-\frac{1}{2b}}. By repeating this transformation, we can reach a whole lattice of values for the conformal dimensions of the four other operators. Factorizing out the degenerate field leads to integral representations of the corresponding four-point conformal blocks. We illustrate this procedure on the elliptic conformal blocks discovered in a previous publication.
