Existence conjecture for timelike Liouville correlation functions

Let c25c\geq 25 and consider the inner product on conformal blocks

F1F2=Tg,nZbcF1F2Z26c,\langle \mathcal{F}_1\,|\,\mathcal{F}_2\rangle=\int_{\mathcal{T}_{g,n}} Z_{bc}\,\overline{\mathcal{F}}_1\mathcal{F}_2\,Z_{26-c},

where ZbcZ_{bc} is the ghost partition function and Z26cZ_{26-c} is the timelike Liouville correlation function with central charge 26c26-c. Timelike Liouville existence conjecture. The timelike Liouville correlation function entering this inner product exists. This is one of the mathematical gaps in the rigorous definition of the inner product; its validity is regarded by physicists as folklore and is assumed in the paper.
