This paper is based on my presentation at RIMS workshop on "Theory of Integrable Systems and Its Applications in Various Fields" held in Kyoto on 19--21, August 2015. The aim of the present paper is to give a short account of recent studies…
In critical loop models, there exist diagonal fields with arbitrary conformal dimensions, whose $3$-point functions coincide with those of Liouville theory at $c\leq 1$. We study their $N$-point functions, which depend on the $2^{N-1}$…

We investigate varies correlation functions of modular Hamiltonians defined with respect to spatial regions in quantum field theories. These correlation functions are divergent in general. We extract finite correlators by removing divergent…
This paper focuses on a conformal block with rank $\frac{3}{2}$ irregular singularity which corresponds to the prepotential of the ${\cal H}_1$ Argyres-Douglas theory in $\Omega$ background. We derive this irregular conformal block using…
A Liouville function is a complex analytic function H with a Taylor series \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} x^n/a_n such the a_n's form a ``very fast growing'' sequence of integers. In this paper we exhibit the complete first-order theory of the complex…
