Wilson loop invariants from W_N conformal blocks
From MaRDI portal
Publication:253017
Abstract: Knot and link polynomials are topological invariants calculated from the expectation value of loop operators in topological field theories. In 3D Chern-Simons theory, these invariants can be found from crossing and braiding matrices of four-point conformal blocks of the boundary 2D CFT. We calculate crossing and braiding matrices for conformal blocks with one component in the fundamental representation and another in a rectangular representation of , which can be used to obtain HOMFLY knot and link invariants for these cases. We also discuss how our approach can be generalized to invariants in higher-representations of algebra.
