Abstract

In this work, we continue our work on two dimensional Galilean conformal field theory (GCFT2_2). Our previous work (arXiv:2011.11092) focused on the ξ0\xi\neq 0 sector, here we investigate the more subtle ξ=0\xi=0 sector to complete the discussion. The case ξ=0\xi=0 is degenerate since there emerge interesting null states in a general ξ=0\xi=0 boost multiplet. We specify these null states and work out the resulting selection rules. Then, we compute the ξ=0\xi=0 global GCA blocks and find that they can be written as a linear combination of several building blocks, each of which can be obtained from a sl(2,R)sl(2,\mathbb{R}) Casimir equation. These building blocks allow us to give an Euclidean inversion formula as well. As a consistency check, we study four-point functions of certain vertex operators in the BMS free scalar theory. In this case, the ξ=0\xi=0 sector is the only allowable sector in the propagating channel. We find that the direct expansion of the 4-point function reproduces the global GCA block and is consistent with the inversion formula.
