Conformal blocks from Wilson lines with loop corrections
Abstract
We compute the conformal blocks of the Virasoro minimal model or its W 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 and apply it to the identity W block. We further compute general light-light blocks and heavy-light correlators for with the Wilson line method and compare the results with known ones obtained using a different prescription. We briefly discuss general W blocks.
