In this note we study CFT$_2$ Virasoro conformal blocks with heavy operators in the large-$c$ limit in the context of AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$ correspondence. We compute the lengths of the holographic Steiner trees dual to the $5$-point and…

We derive an explicit expression for the $1/c$ contribution to the Virasoro blocks in 2D CFT in the limit of large $c$ with fixed values of the operators' dimensions. We follow the direct approach of orthonormalising, at order $1/c$, the…
