Abstract

We extend the work of \cite{Ferrara:1971vh},\cite{Ferrara:1973vz}, to obtain an integral expression of OPE blocks for spinning primaries in CFT2_{2}. We observe, when the OPE blocks are made out of conserved spinning primaries, the integral becomes a product of two copies of weighted AdS2_{2} fields, smeared along geodesics. In this way, conserved current OPE blocks in CFT2_{2} have a different representation in terms of AdS2_{2} geodesic operators, in stead of viewing them as AdS3_{3} geodesic operators. We also show, how this representation can be related to AdS3_{3} massless higher spin fields through HKLL bulk field reconstruction. Using this picture, we consistently obtain the closed form expression of four point spinning conformal block as a product of two AdS2_{2} Geodesic Witten diagrams.
