Weakly connected maps conjecture for non-diagonal conformal-bootstrap spectra

From papers

Consider an nn-point function of diagonal and non-diagonal fields on a Riemann surface of genus gg. Let Mg,nc(ri)\mathcal{M}^c_{g,n}(r_i) denote the set of weakly connected maps with the corresponding external first Kac indices rir_i, and let the conformal-bootstrap spectra contain only non-diagonal fields. Write d0,4c(δi)d_{0,4}^c(\delta_i) for the dimension of the space of four-point crossing-symmetry solutions. Weakly connected maps conjecture. For any such nn-point function, the dimension of the conformal-bootstrap solution space equals Mg,nc(ri)|\mathcal{M}^c_{g,n}(r_i)|; in particular,

d0,4c(δi)=M0,4c(ri).d_{0,4}^c(\delta_i)=\left|\mathcal{M}^c_{0,4}(r_i)\right|.

This conjecture motivates the definition of weakly connected maps, which can have vertices of valency zero and therefore account for correlation functions involving diagonal fields. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
