    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

    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 AdS3_3/CFT2_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

    Four-point function in Super Liouville Gravity

    Full text link
    We consider the 2D super Liouville gravity coupled to the minimal superconformal theory. We analyze the physical states in the theory and give the general form of the n-point correlation numbers on the sphere in terms of integrals over the moduli space. The three-point correlation numbers are presented explicitly. For the four-point correlators, we show that the integral over the moduli space reduces to the boundary terms if one of the fields is degenerate. It turns out that special logarithmic fields are relevant for evaluating these boundary terms. We discuss the construction of these fields and study their operator product expansions. This analysis allows evaluating the four-point correlation numbers. The derivation is analogous to the one in the bosonic case and is based on the recently derived higher equations of motion of the super Liouville field theory.Comment: 25 pages, references adde
