Confluent exponentiation conjecture for conformal blocks of type G

Let bb be the semiclassical parameter, let cc be the central charge, and let tt, θ0\theta_0, θ\theta_\bullet and ν\nu be the parameters appearing in the confluent conformal block of type G\mathcal G. Define the classical block by

U~(tθ0,θ,ν)=νt2+(δ0+3ν22θν)lnt+n=1U~n(θ0,θ,ν)t2n.\widetilde{\mathcal U}\left( t\,\bigl|\,\theta_0,\theta_\bullet,\nu\right)=-\nu t^2+\left(\delta_0+3\nu^2-2\theta_\bullet\nu\right)\ln t+\sum_{n=1}^\infty \widetilde{\mathcal U}_n\left(\theta_0,\theta_\bullet,\nu\right)t^{-2n}.

Confluent exponentiation conjecture for type G\mathcal G. The confluent conformal block exponentiates semiclassically:

G(t2ibc;iθ0b,iθb,iνb)b0constexp{b2U~(tθ0,θ,ν)}.\mathcal G\left( t\sqrt{\tfrac{2i}{b}}\,\bigl|\,c;\tfrac{i\theta_0}{b},\tfrac{i\theta_\bullet}{b}, \tfrac{i\nu}{b}\right)\stackrel{b\to 0}{\sim}\operatorname{const}\cdot\exp\left\{b^{-2}\widetilde{\mathcal U}\left( t\,\bigl|\,\theta_0,\theta_\bullet,\nu\right)\right\}.

This gives the semiclassical form of the type G\mathcal G confluent block and connects its large-parameter asymptotics with the classical accessory-parameter problem; the statement remains conjectural in the supplied text.
