Abstract

We construct a class of 3-point constants in the sl(4)sl(4) Toda conformal theory W4W_4, extending the examples in Fateev and Litvinov. Their knowledge allows to determine the braiding/fusing matrix transforming 4-point conformal blocks of one fundamental, labelled by the 6-dimensional sl(4)sl(4) representation, and three partially degenerate vertex operators. It is a 3×33 \times 3 submatrix of the generic 6×66 \times 6 fusing matrix consistent with the fusion rules for the particular class of representations. We check a braiding relation which has wider applications to conformal models with sl(4)sl(4) symmetry. The 3-point constants in dual regions of central charge are compared in preparation for a BPS like relation in the sl^(4)\hat{sl}(4) WZW model.
