Conformal blocks from Wilson lines with loop corrections

Abstract

We compute the conformal blocks of the Virasoro minimal model or its WN_N extension with large central charge from Wilson line networks in a Chern-Simons theory including loop corrections. In our previous work, we offered a prescription to regularize divergences from loops attached to Wilson lines. In this paper, we generalize our method with the prescription by dealing with more general operators for N=3N=3 and apply it to the identity W3_3 block. We further compute general light-light blocks and heavy-light correlators for N=2N=2 with the Wilson line method and compare the results with known ones obtained using a different prescription. We briefly discuss general W3_3 blocks.
