Classical conformal blocks via AdS/CFT correspondence

Understand

We continue to develop the holographic interpretation of classical conformal blocks in terms of particles propagating in an asymptotically $AdS_3$ geometry.

• We study $n$-point block with two heavy and $n-2$ light fields.
• Using the worldline approach we propose and explicitly describe the corresponding bulk configuration, which consists of $n-3$ particles propagating in the conical defect background produced by the heavy fields.
• We test this general picture in the case of five points.
