Worldline approach to semi-classical conformal blocks

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2635637




Abstract: We extend recent results on semi-classical conformal blocks in 2d CFT and their relation to 3D gravity via the AdS/CFT correspondence. We consider four-point functions with two heavy and two light external operators, along with the exchange of a light operator. By explicit computation, we establish precise agreement between these CFT objects and a simple picture of particle worldlines joined by cubic vertices propagating in asymptotically AdS3 geometries (conical defects or BTZ black holes). We provide a simple argument that explains this agreement.
