    AGT conjecture and Integrable structure of Conformal field theory for c=1

    Full text link
    AGT correspondence gives an explicit expressions for the conformal blocks of d=2d=2 conformal field theory. Recently an explanation of this representation inside the CFT framework was given through the assumption about the existence of the special orthogonal basis in the module of algebra A=VirH\mathcal{A}=Vir\otimes\mathcal{H}. The basis vectors are the eigenvectors of the infinite set of commuting integrals of motion. It was also proven that some of these vectors take form of Jack polynomials. In this note we conjecture and verify by explicit computations that in the case of the Virasoro central charge c=1c=1 all basis vectors are just the products of two Jack polynomials. Each of the commuting integrals of motion becomes the sum of two integrals of motion of two noninteracting Calogero models. We also show that in the case c1c\neq1 it is necessary to use two different Feigin-Fuks bosonizations of the Virasoro algebra for the construction of all basis vectors which take form of one Jack polynomial.Comment: 16 pages, added references, corrected typo

    Frobenius manifolds, Integrable Hierarchies and Minimal Liouville Gravity

    Get PDF
    We use the connection between the Frobrenius manifold and the Douglas string equation to further investigate Minimal Liouville gravity. We search a solution of the Douglas string equation and simultaneously a proper transformation from the KdV to the Liouville frame which ensure the fulfilment of the conformal and fusion selection rules. We find that the desired solution of the string equation has explicit and simple form in the flat coordinates on the Frobenious manifold in the general case of (p,q) Minimal Liouville gravity.Comment: 17 pages; v2: typos removed, some comments added, minor correction

    Conformal blocks of Chiral fields in N=2 SUSY CFT and Affine Laumon Spaces

    Full text link
    We consider the problem of computing N=2 superconformal block functions. We argue that the Kazama-Suzuki coset realization of N=2 superconformal algebra in terms of the affine sl(2) algebra provides relations between N=2 and affine sl(2) conformal blocks. We show that for N=2 chiral fields the corresponding sl(2) construction of the conformal blocks is based on the ordinary highest weight representation. We use an AGT-type correspondence to relate the four-point sl(2) conformal block with Nekrasov's instanton partition functions of a four-dimensional N=2 SU(2) gauge theory in the presence of a surface operator. Since the previous relation proposed by Alday and Tachikawa requires some special modification of the conformal block function, we revisit this problem and find direct correspondence for the four-point conformal block. We thus find an explicit representation for the affine sl(2) four-point conformal block and hence obtain an explicit combinatorial representation for the N=2 chiral four-point conformal block.Comment: 15 page

    On the N=1 super Liouville four-point functions

    Full text link
    We construct the four-point correlation functions containing the top component of the supermultiplet in the Neveu-Schwarz sector of the N=1 SUSY Liouville field theory. The construction is based on the recursive representation for the NS conformal blocks. We test our results in the case where one of the fields is degenerate with a singular vector on the level 3/2. In this case, the correlation function satisfies a third-order ordinary differential equation, which we derive. We numerically verify the crossing symmetry relations for the constructed correlation functions in the nondegenerate case.Comment: 23 page

    Generalized Rogers Ramanujan Identities from AGT Correspondence

    Full text link
    AGT correspondence and its generalizations attracted a great deal of attention recently. In particular it was suggested that U(r)U(r) instantons on R4/ZpR^4/Z_p describe the conformal blocks of the coset A(r,p)=U(1)×sl(p)r×sl(r)p×sl(r)nsl(r)n+p{\cal A}(r,p)=U(1)\times sl(p)_r\times {sl(r)_p\times sl(r)_n\over sl(r)_{n+p}}, where nn is a parameter. Our purpose here is to describe Generalized Rogers Ramanujan (GRR) identities for these cosets, which expresses the characters as certain qq series. We propose that such identities exist for the coset A(r,p){\cal A}(r,p) for all positive integers nn and all rr and pp. We treat here the case of n=1n=1 and r=2r=2, finding GRR identities for all the characters.Comment: 11 page

    Special geometry on the moduli space for the two-moduli non-Fermat Calabi-Yau

    Full text link
    We clarify the recently proposed method to compute a Special K\"ahler metric on a Calabi-Yau complex structures moduli space that uses the fact that the moduli space is a subspace of specific Frobenius manifold. We apply this method to computing the Special K\"ahler metric in a two-moduli non-Fermat model which has been unknown until now

    Open minimal strings and open Gelfand-Dickey hierarchies

    Full text link
    We study the connection between minimal Liouville string theory and generalized open KdV hierarchies. We are interested in generalizing Douglas string equation formalism to the open topology case. We show that combining the results of the closed topology, based on the Frobenius manifold structure and resonance transformations, with the appropriate open case modification, which requires the insertion of macroscopic loop operators, we reproduce the well-known result for the expectation value of a bulk operator for the FZZT brane coupled to the general (q,p) minimal model. The matching of the results of the two setups gives new evidence of the connection between minimal Liouville gravity and the theory of Topological Gravity
