Abstract: Let mathcalBN,n,p,,pprime,,mathcalH be a conformal block, with n consecutive channels chii, i=1,cdots,n, in the conformal field theory mathcalMN,p,,pprime!imes!mathcalMmathcalH, where mathcalMN,p,,pprime is a mathcalWN minimal model, generated by chiral fields of spin 1,cdots,N, and labeled by two co-prime integers p and pprime, 1<p<pprime, while mathcalMmathcalH is a free boson conformal field theory. mathcalBN,n,p,,pprime,mathcalH is the expectation value of vertex operators between an initial and a final state. Each vertex operator is labelled by a charge vector that lives in the weight lattice of the Lie algebra AN−1, spanned by weight vectors omega1,cdots,omegaN−1. We restrict our attention to conformal blocks with vertex operators whose charge vectors point along omega1. The charge vectors that label the initial and final states can point in any direction. Following the mathcalWN AGT correspondence, and using Nekrasov's instanton partition functions without modification, to compute mathcalBN,n,p,,pprime,mathcalH, leads to ill-defined expressions. We show that restricting the states that flow in the channels chii, i=1,cdots,n, to states labeled by N partitions that satisfy conditions that we call N-Burge partitions, leads to well-defined expressions that we identify with mathcalBN,n,p,,pprime,,mathcalH. We check our identification by showing that a specific non-trivial conformal block that we compute, using the N-Burge conditions satisfies the expected differential equation.
