Martinec's annulus bootstrap conjecture for boundary Liouville CFT
Martinec's annulus bootstrap conjecture for boundary Liouville CFT
Consider an annulus represented as a cylinder of length and radius . Set , and let denote the no-insertion-point partition function of Liouville conformal field theory on this annulus, defined probabilistically in analogy with the one-point function. Let be the Liouville background charge, let denote the FZZ boundary wave function, and let and be the bulk and boundary cosmological constants. Then Martinec's annulus bootstrap conjecture. the partition function should satisfy
The two boundary components may have different values of , in which case the two FZZ wave functions are evaluated using the respective boundary cosmological constants; the bulk parameter is the same in the partition function and both wave functions. The contour is a suitable deformation of avoiding the pole at . This is a proposed conformal-bootstrap formula for the annulus partition function in Liouville CFT; its validity is presented as a conjecture, with no resolution supplied here.
