Abstract

We consider the AGT correspondence in the context of the conformal field theory Mp,pM^{\, p, p^{\prime}} \otimes MHM^{H}, where Mp,pM^{\, p, p^{\prime}} is the minimal model based on the Virasoro algebra Vp,pV^{\, p, p^{\prime}} labeled by two co-prime integers {p,p}\{p, p^{\prime}\}, 1<p<p1 < p < p^{\prime}, and MHM^{H} is the free boson theory based on the Heisenberg algebra HH. Using Nekrasov's instanton partition functions without modification to compute conformal blocks in Mp,pM^{\, p, p^{\prime}} \otimes MHM^{H} leads to ill-defined or incorrect expressions. Let Bnp,p,HB^{\, p, p^{\prime}, H}_n be a conformal block in Mp,pM^{\, p, p^{\prime}} \otimes MHM^{H}, with nn consecutive channels χi\chi_{i}, i=1,,ni = 1, \cdots, n, and let χi\chi_{i} carry states from Hri,sip,pH^{p, p^{\prime}}_{r_{i}, s_{i}} \otimes FF, where Hri,sip,pH^{p, p^{\prime}}_{r_{i}, s_{i}} is an irreducible highest-weight Vp,pV^{\, p, p^{\prime}}-representation, labeled by two integers {ri,si}\{r_{i}, s_{i}\}, 0<ri<p0 < r_{i} < p, 0<si<p0 < s_{i} < p^{\prime}, and FF is the Fock space of HH. We show that restricting the states that flow in χi\chi_{i} to states labeled by a partition pair {Y1i,Y2i}\{Y_1^{i}, Y_2^{i}\} such that Y2,RiY1,R+si1i1riY^{i}_{2, {\tt R}} - Y^{i}_{1, {\tt R} + s_{i} - 1} \geq 1 - r_{i}, and Y1,RiY2,R+psi1i1p+riY^{i}_{1, {\tt R}} - Y^{i}_{2, {\tt R} + p^{\prime} - s_{i} - 1} \geq 1 - p + r_{i}, where Yj,RiY^{i}_{j, {\tt R}} is row-R{\tt R} of Yji,j{1,2}Y^{i}_j, j \in \{1, 2\}, we obtain a well-defined expression that we identify with Bnp,p,HB^{\, p, p^{\prime}, H}_n. We check the correctness of this expression for 1.{\bf 1.} Any 1-point B1p,p,HB^{\, p, p^{\prime}, H}_1 on the torus, when the operator insertion is the identity, and 2.{\bf 2.} The 6-point B33,4,HB^{\, 3, 4, H}_3 on the sphere that involves six Ising magnetic operators.
