On the crossing relation in the presence of defects

High Energy Physics - Theory 2010-05-07 v3

Abstract

The OPE of local operators in the presence of defect lines is considered both in the rational CFT and the c>25c>25 Virasoro (Liouville) theory. The duality transformation of the 4-point function with inserted defect operators is explicitly computed. The two channels of the correlator reproduce the expectation values of the Wilson and 't Hooft operators, recently discussed in Liouville theory in relation to the AGT conjecture.
