Four-point conformal blocks with three heavy background operators

Abstract: We study CFT2 Virasoro conformal blocks of the 4-point correlation function langlemathcalOLmathcalOHmathcalOHmathcalOHangle with three background operators mathcalOH and one perturbative operator mathcalOL of dimensions DeltaL/DeltaHll1. The conformal block function is calculated in the large central charge limit using the monodromy method. From the holographic perspective, the background operators create AdS3 space with three conical singularities parameterized by dimensions DeltaH, while the perturbative operator corresponds to the geodesic line stretched from the boundary to the bulk. The geodesic length calculates the perturbative conformal block. We propose how to address the block/length correspondence problem in the general case of higher-point correlation functions langlemathcalOLcdotsmathcalOLmathcalOHcdotsmathcalOHangle with arbitrary numbers of background and perturbative operators.
