Abstract

In critical loop models, there exist diagonal fields with arbitrary conformal dimensions, whose 33-point functions coincide with those of Liouville theory at c1c\leq 1. We study their NN-point functions, which depend on the 2N12^{N-1} weights of combinatorially inequivalent loops on a sphere with NN punctures. Using a numerical conformal bootstrap approach, we find that 44-point functions decompose into infinite but discrete linear combinations of conformal blocks. We conclude that diagonal fields belong to an extension of the O(n)O(n) model.
