Abstract

We study W3\mathcal{W}_3 toroidal conformal blocks for degenerate primary fields in AdS/CFT context. In the large central charge limit W3\mathcal{W}_3 algebra reduces to sl3\mathfrak{sl}_3 algebra and sl3\mathfrak{sl}_3 blocks are defined as contributions to W3\mathcal{W}_3 blocks coming from the generators of sl3\mathfrak{sl}_3 subalgebra. We consider the construction of sl3\mathfrak{sl}_3 toroidal blocks in terms of Wilson lines operators of 3d3d Chern-Simons gravity in the thermal AdS3_3 space-time. According to the correspondence, degenerate primary fields are associated with Wilson lines operators acting in the corresponding finite-dimensional sl3\mathfrak{sl}_3 representations. We verify this dual construction for one-point toroidal block using sl3\mathfrak{sl}_3 tensor technique in the bulk theory and an algorithm based on AGT correspondence in the boundary CFT.
