Abstract The generic structure of 4‐point functions of fields residing in indecomposable representations of arbitrary rank is given. The presented algorithm is illustrated with some non‐trivial examples and permutation symmetries are exploited to reduce the number of free structure‐functions, which cannot be fixed by global conformal invariance alone.

Operator algebra in logarithmic conformal field theory

Jasbir Nagi

For some time now, conformal field theories in two dimensions have been studied as integrable systems. Much of the success of these studies is related to the existence of an operator algebra of the theory. In this paper, some of the extensions of this machinery to the logarithmic case are studied and used. More precisely, from M\"obius symmetry constraints, the generic three- and four-point functions of logarithmic quasiprimary fields are calculated in closed form for arbitrary Jordan rank. As an example, $c=0$ disordered systems with nondegenerate vacua are studied. With the aid of two-, three-, and four-point functions, the operator algebra is obtained and associativity of the algebra studied.For some time now, conformal field theories in two dimensions have been studied as integrable systems.

Bootstrapping 2D CFTs in the semiclassical limit

Chi-Ming Chang, Ying-Hsuan Lin

We study two-dimensional conformal field theories in the semiclassical limit. In this limit, the four-point function is dominated by intermediate primaries of particular weights along with their descendants, and the crossing equations simplify drastically. For a four-point function receiving sufficiently small contributions from the light primaries, the structure constants involving heavy primaries follow a universal formula. Applying our results to the four-point function of the ${\mathbb{Z}}_2$ twist field in the symmetric product orbifold, we produce the Hellerman bound and the logarithmically corrected Cardy formula that is valid for h ≥ c/12.We study two-dimensional conformal field theories in the semiclassical limit.
