Multipoint Conformal Blocks in the Comb Channel

Understand

Conformal blocks are the building blocks for correlation functions in conformal field theories.

• The four-point function is the most well-studied case.
• We consider conformal blocks for $n$-point correlation functions.
• For conformal field theories in dimensions $d=1$ and $d=2$, we use the shadow formalism to compute $n$-point conformal blocks, for arbitrary $n$, in a particular channel which we refer to as the comb channel.
