Abstract
We propose a series representation for the Virasoro fusion and modular kernels at any irrational central charge. Two distinct, yet closely related formulas are needed for the cases and . Our proposal for agrees numerically with the fusion transformation of the four-point spherical conformal blocks, whereas our proposal for agrees numerically with Ponsot and Teschner's integral formula for the fusion kernel. The case of the modular kernel is studied as a special case of the fusion kernel.
