Global conformal blocks via Shadow formalism

We study $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ and $\mathfrak{sl}_3$ global conformal blocks on a sphere and a torus, using the shadow formalism. These blocks arise in the context of Virasoro and $\mathcal{W}_3$ conformal field theories in the large central charge limit. In the $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ case, we demonstrate that the shadow formalism yields the known expressions in terms of conformal partial waves. Then, we extend this approach to the $\mathfrak{sl}_3$ case and show that it allows to build simple integral representations for $\mathfrak{sl}_3$ global blocks. We demonstrate this construction on two examples: the four-point block on the sphere and the one-point torus block.

On different approaches to integrable lattice models

Interaction-Round the Face (IRF) models are two-dimensional lattice models of statistical mechanics defined by an affine Lie algebra and admissibility conditions depending on a choice of representation of that affine Lie algebra. Integrable IRF models, i.e., the models the Boltzmann weights of which satisfy the quantum Yang-Baxter equation, are of particular interest. In this paper, we investigate trigonometric Boltzmann weights of integrable IRF models. By using an ansatz proposed by one of the authors in some previous works, the Boltzmann weights of the restricted IRF models based on the affine Lie algebras $\mathfrak{su}(2)_k$ and $\mathfrak{su}(3)_k$ are computed for fundamental and adjoint representations for some fixed levels $k$. New solutions for the Boltzmann weights are obtained. We also study the vertex-IRF correspondence in the context of an unrestricted IRF model based on $\mathfrak {su}(3)_k$ (for general $k$) and discuss how it can be used to find Boltzmann weights in terms of the quantum $\hat{R}$ matrix when the adjoint representation defines the admissibility conditions.

Wilson lines construction of $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$ conformal blocks

We study N=1 superconformal theory in the context of AdS/CFT correspondence in the large central charge limit using Chern-Simons formulation of $3d$ gravity. In this limit conformal dimensions of a subclass of so-called light primary superfields remain finite and are governed by $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$ subalgebra of N=1 super-Virasoro algebra. We describe the construction of $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$ conformal blocks in terms of Wilson lines of the Chern-Simons $3d$ gravity. We consider examples of two and three-point blocks on the sphere and one-point torus blocks of light superprimary fields, which belong to finite-dimensional representations of $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$. We study the correlation function for lower and upper components of the primary $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$ doublets and show that the associated conformal blocks are obtained via Wilson line construction in Chern-Simons theory.

The crossing multiplier for solvable lattice models

We study the large class of solvable lattice models, based on the data of conformal field theory. These models are constructed from any conformal field theory. We consider the lattice models based on affine algebras described by Jimbo et al., for the algebras $ABCD$ and by Kuniba et al. for $G_2$. We find a general formula for the crossing multipliers of these models. It is shown that these crossing multipliers are also given by the principally specialized characters of the model in question. Therefore we conjecture that the crossing multipliers in this large class of solvable interaction round the face lattice models are given by the characters of the conformal field theory on which they are based. We use this result to study the local state probabilities of these models and show that they are given by the branching rule, in regime III.

Semiclassical torus blocks in the t-channel

We explicitly demonstrate the relation between the 2-point t-channel torus block in the large-c regime and the geodesic length of a specific geodesic diagram stretched in the thermal AdS3 spacetime
