It is well known that five-point function in Liouville field theory provides a representation of solutions of the SL (2, R) k Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov equation at the level of four-point function. Here, we make use of such representation to study some aspects of the spectral flow symmetry of sl ˆ (2) k affine algebra and its action on the observables of the WZNW theory. To illustrate the usefulness of this method we rederive the three-point function that violates the winding number in SL (2, R) in a very succinct way. In addition, we prove several identities holding between exact solutions of the Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov equation.Instituto de Física La Plat
