Non-abelianization for Conformal Virasoro Blocks
摘要
We briefly include here a recent application of spectral networks by Hao and Neitzke (A new construction of \(c = 1\) Virasoro blocks, 2024), namely the non-abelianization of conformal blocks. Hao and Neitzke produce a passage between Virasoro conformal blocks at \(c=1\) on a Riemann surface C and Heisenberg conformal blocks over a double cover of C. The construction builds upon Zamolodchikov’s branched free-field construction (Zamolodchikov, Nucl Phys B 285:481–503, 1987), yet the normalized correlation functions involved now are everywhere regular, thus no additional insertions of Virasoro primary fields have to be considered.
