Frobenius manifolds, Integrable Hierarchies and Minimal Liouville Gravity

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

Torus Amplitudes in Minimal Liouville Gravity and Matrix Models

We evaluate one-point correlation numbers on the torus in the Liouville theory coupled to the conformal matter M(2,2p+1). We find agreement with the recent results obtained in the matrix model approach.Comment: 10 page

Geodesic description of Heavy-Light Virasoro blocks

We continue to investigate the dual description of the Virasoro conformal blocks arising in the framework of the classical limit of the AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$ correspondence. To give such an interpretation in previous studies, certain restrictions were necessary. Our goal here is to consider more general situation available through the worldline approximation to the dual AdS gravity. Namely, we are interested in computing the spherical conformal blocks without the previously imposed restrictions on the conformal dimensions of the internal channels. The duality is realised as an equality of the so-called heavy-light limit of the n-point conformal block and the action of n-2 particles propagating in some AdS-like background with either a conical singularity or a BTZ black hole. We describe a procedure that allows relaxing the constraint on the intermediate channels. To obtain an explicit expression for the conformal block on the CFT side, we use a recently proposed recursion procedure and find full agreement between the results of the boundary and bulk computations.Comment: 13 pages, v3: refs added, typos remove

Conformal blocks of W_N Minimal Models and AGT correspondence

We study the AGT correspondence between four-dimensional supersymmetric gauge field theory and two-dimensional conformal field theories in the context of W_N minimal models. The origin of the AGT correspondence is in a special integrable structure which appears in the properly extended conformal theory. One of the basic manifestations of this integrability is the special orthogonal basis which arises in the extended theory. We propose modification of the AGT representation for the W_N conformal blocks in the minimal models. The necessary modification is related to the reduction of the orthogonal basis. This leads to the explicit combinatorial representation for the conformal blocks of minimal models and employs the sum over N-tupels of Young diagrams with additional restrictions.Comment: 16 pages; v2: typos removed, more comments, references added; v3: minor corrections, references added, JHEP versio
