Abstract: We present further mathematical results on a function appearing in the conformal blocks of four-point correlation functions with arbitrary quasi-primary operators. The $H$-function was introduced in a previous article and it has several interesting properties. We prove explicitly the recurrence relation as well as the $D_6$-invariance presented previously. We also demonstrate the proper action of the differential operator used to construct the $H$-function.

Review text

The paper contains several expressions of the H-function involving the Kampé de Frériet function, generalized Lauricella function and Exton's hypergeometric function. It demonstrates, further, that the H-function is invariant under the dihedral group of order 12 and that it satisfies the proper recurrence relation. On the other hand, the paper presents a differential operator used to construct the H-function.
