Various semiclassical limits of torus conformal blocks

High Energy Physics - Theory 2017-05-24 v1

Abstract

We study four types of one-point torus blocks arising in the large central charge regime. According to different limits of conformal dimensions we distinguish between the global block, the light block, the heavy-light block, and the linearized classical block. We show that they are not independent and connected to each other by various links. We find that the global, light, and heavy-light blocks correspond to three different contractions of the Virasoro algebra. Also, we formulate the c-recursive representation of the one-point torus blocks which is relevant in the semiclassical approximation.
