Casimir recursion relations for general conformal blocks
We study the structure of series expansions of general spinning conformal blocks. We find that the terms in these expansions are naturally expressed by means of special functions related to matrix elements of Spin(d) representations in Gelfand-Tsetlin basis, of which the Gegenbauer polynomials are a special case. We study the properties of these functions and explain how they can be computed in...
متن کاملDecomposition of Conformal Blocks
In the Masters Project we give a complete proof of the Factorization theorem in Conformal Field Theory and Local freeness of the sheaf of conformal blocks. We apply these results to give a proof of the Verlinde formula. Except for the part on Verlinde formula (Chapter 8), we mostly follow the description given in [TUY]. For the Verlinde formula, we follow the article [Beau]. We do not claim any...
متن کاملSimple recursion relations for general field theories
On-shell methods offer an alternative definition of quantum field theory at treelevel, replacing Feynman diagrams with recursion relations and interaction vertices with a handful of seed scattering amplitudes. In this paper we determine the simplest recursion relations needed to construct a general four-dimensional quantum field theory of massless particles. For this purpose we define a coverin...
متن کاملOn-Shell Recursion Relations for Generic Theories
We show that on-shell recursion relations hold for tree amplitudes in generic two derivative theories of multiple particle species and diverse spins. For example, in a gauge theory coupled to scalars and fermions, any amplitude with at least one gluon obeys a recursion relation. In (super)gravity coupled to scalars and fermions, the same holds for any amplitude with at least one graviton. This ...
متن کاملConformal blocks for highly disparate scaling dimensions
We show that conformal blocks simplify greatly when there is a large difference between two of the scaling dimensions for external operators. In particular the spacetime dimension only appears in an overall constant which we determine via recurrence relations. Connections to the conformal bootstrap program and the AdS / CFT correspondence are also discussed. ar X iv :1 40 2. 56 98 v1 [ he pth ]...
