TI - Isomonodromic Tau-Functions from Liouville Conformal Blocks JO - Communications in mathematical physics VL - 336 IS - 2 SN - 1432-0916 CY - Berlin PB - Springer M1 - PUBDB-2015-01774 M1 - DESY-14-012 M1 - arXiv:1401.6104 SP - 671 - 694 PY - 2015 N1 - OA AB - The goal of this note is to show that the Riemann-Hilbert problem to find multivalued analytic functions with SL(2,C)-valued monodromy on Riemann surfaces of genus zero with n punctures can be solved by taking suitable linear combinations of the conformal blocks of Liouville theory at c=1. This implies a similar representation for the isomonodromic tau-function. In the case n=4 we thereby get a proof of the relation between tau-functions and conformal blocks discovered in . We briefly discuss a possible application of our results to the study of relations between certain N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories and conformal field theory.
