The conjectural boundary two-point function formula in boundary Liouville theory

Let γ\gamma and QQ be the Liouville parameters, with β(γ2,Q)\beta\in(\frac{\gamma}{2},Q) and μ,μ1,μ2>0\mu,\mu_1,\mu_2>0. For i=1,2i=1,2, define σi\sigma_i by

μi=μsin(πγ24)cos(πγ(σiQ2)).\mu_i=\sqrt{\frac{\mu}{\sin(\pi\frac{\gamma^2}{4})}}\cos\left(\pi\gamma\left(\sigma_i-\frac{Q}{2}\right)\right).

Let R(β,σ1,σ2)R(\beta,\sigma_1,\sigma_2) denote the boundary two-point function, and let Γγ2\Gamma_{\frac{\gamma}{2}} and Sγ2S_{\frac{\gamma}{2}} denote the special functions appearing in the formula. Boundary two-point function conjecture. The probabilistic expression for R(β,σ1,σ2)R(\beta,\sigma_1,\sigma_2) equals

(πμ(γ2)2γ22Γ(γ24)Γ(1γ24))QβγΓγ2(βQ)Γγ2(Qβ)1Sγ2(β2+σ1+σ2Q)Sγ2(β2σ1σ2+Q)\left(\frac{\pi\mu(\frac{\gamma}{2})^{2-\frac{\gamma^2}{2}}\Gamma(\frac{\gamma^2}{4})}{\Gamma(1-\frac{\gamma^2}{4})}\right)^{\frac{Q-\beta}{\gamma}}\frac{\Gamma_{\frac{\gamma}{2}}(\beta-Q)\Gamma_{\frac{\gamma}{2}}(Q-\beta)^{-1}}{S_{\frac{\gamma}{2}}(\frac{\beta}{2}+\sigma_1+\sigma_2-Q)S_{\frac{\gamma}{2}}(\frac{\beta}{2}-\sigma_1-\sigma_2+Q)} ×1Sγ2(β2+σ2σ1)Sγ2(β2+σ1σ2).\times\frac{1}{S_{\frac{\gamma}{2}}(\frac{\beta}{2}+\sigma_2-\sigma_1)S_{\frac{\gamma}{2}}(\frac{\beta}{2}+\sigma_1-\sigma_2)}.

This is the second of the two simplest exact formulas predicted for the generalized boundary Liouville theory with bulk and boundary potentials; the supplied passage gives no resolution status.
