Holomorphicity conjecture for Liouville fusion coefficients

About 27 years old · traced to

Let Q=b+b−1Q=b+b^{-1}, and let α1,α2,α3,α4,α23\alpha_1,\alpha_2,\alpha_3,\alpha_4,\alpha_{23} be complex Liouville momenta. The fusion coefficients are denoted by Fα21α32[α4α3α1α2]F_{\alpha_{21}\alpha_{32}}\bigl[{}^{\alpha_3}_{\alpha_4}{}^{\alpha_2}_{\alpha_1}\bigr]. Holomorphicity conjecture. The fusion coefficients are holomorphic in the domain

0<Re⁡(α2+α3+α23−Q)<Q0<Re⁡(α2+α3−α23)<Q0<Re⁡(α23+α3−α2)<Q0<Re⁡(α23+α2−α3)<Q0<Re⁡(α4+α1+α23−Q)<Q0<Re⁡(α4+α1−α23)<Q0<Re⁡(α23+α4−α1)<Q0<Re⁡(α23+α1−α4)<Q.\begin{aligned} 0<&\operatorname{Re}(\alpha_2+\alpha_3+\alpha_{23}-Q)<Q\\ 0<&\operatorname{Re}(\alpha_2+\alpha_3-\alpha_{23})<Q\\ 0<&\operatorname{Re}(\alpha_{23}+\alpha_3-\alpha_2)<Q\\ 0<&\operatorname{Re}(\alpha_{23}+\alpha_2-\alpha_3)<Q \end{aligned} \qquad \begin{aligned} 0<&\operatorname{Re}(\alpha_4+\alpha_1+\alpha_{23}-Q)<Q\\ 0<&\operatorname{Re}(\alpha_4+\alpha_1-\alpha_{23})<Q\\ 0<&\operatorname{Re}(\alpha_{23}+\alpha_4-\alpha_1)<Q\\ 0<&\operatorname{Re}(\alpha_{23}+\alpha_1-\alpha_4)<Q. \end{aligned}

This analyticity property is motivated by the expected analyticity of conformal blocks and by the consistency equations governing fusion coefficients. The source gives no resolution of the conjecture.
