Let @math be a conformal block, with @math consecutive channels @math , @math , in the conformal field theory @math , where @math is a @math minimal model, generated by chiral fields of spin @math , and labeled by two co-prime integers @math and @math , @math , while @math is a free boson conformal field theory. @math is the expectation value of vertex operators between an initial and a final state. Each vertex operator is labelled by a charge vector that lives in the weight lattice of the Lie algebra @math , spanned by weight vectors @math . We restrict our attention to conformal blocks with vertex operators whose charge vectors point along @math . The charge vectors that label the initial and final states can point in any direction. Following the @math AGT correspondence, and using Nekrasov's instanton partition functions without modification, to compute @math , leads to ill-defined expressions. We show that restricting the states that flow in the channels @math , @math , to states labeled by @math partitions that satisfy conditions that we call @math -Burge partitions, leads to well-defined expressions that we identify with @math . We check our identification by showing that a specific non-trivial conformal block that we compute, using the @math -Burge conditions satisfies the expected differential equation.
If one can extend the analytic continuation scheme used in @cite_48 to the full instanton partition functions of the most general conformal blocks, and obtain the same result as in the present work, then this would amount to a proof that the proposed modified AGT expression for @math in equation ) is indeed the required minimal model conformal block up to a Heisenberg factor.

We study the properties of the conformal blocks of the conformal eld theories with Virasoro or W-extended symmetry. When the conformal blocks contain only second-order degenerate elds, the conformal blocks obey second order dierential equations and they can be interpreted as ground-state wave functions of a trigonometric Calogero-Sutherland Hamiltonian with nontrivial braiding properties. A generalized duality property relates the two types of second order degenerate elds. By studying this duality we found that the excited states of the CalogeroSutherland Hamiltonian are characterized by two partitions, or in the case of WAk 1 theories by k partitions. By extending the conformal eld theories under consideration by a u(1) eld, we nd that we can put in correspondence the states in the Hilbert state of the extended CFT with the excited non-polynomial eigenstates of the Calogero-Sutherland Hamiltonian. When the action of the Calogero-Sutherland integrals of motion is translated on the Hilbert space, they become identical to the integrals of motion recently discovered by Alba, Fateev, Litvinov and Tarnopolsky in Liouville theory in the context of the AGT conjecture. Upon bosonisation, these integrals of motion can be expressed as a sum of two, or in generalk, bosonic Calogero-Sutherland Hamiltonian coupled by an interaction term with a triangular structure. For special values of the coupling constant, the conformal blocks can be expressed in terms of Jack polynomials with pairing properties, and they give electron wave functions for special Fractional Quantum Hall states. Abstract We systematically study the exclusion statistics for quasi-particles for Conformal Field Theory spectra by employing a method based on recursion relations for truncated spectra. Our examples include generalized fermions in c CFT Z k parafermions, and spinons for the su ( n ) 1 , so ( n ) 1 and sp (2 n ) 1 Wess-Zumino-Witten models. For some of the latter examples we present explicit expressions for finitized affine characters and for the N -spinon decomposition of affine characters. Abstract After a very brief recollection of how my scientific collaboration with Ugo started, in this talk I will present some recent results obtained with localization: the deformed gauge theory partition function Z ( τ → | q ) and the expectation value of circular Wilson loops W on a squashed four-sphere will be computed. The partition function is deformed by turning on τ J tr Φ J interactions with Φ the N = 2 superfield. For the N = 4 theory SUSY gauge theory exact formulae for Z and W in terms of an underlying U ( N ) interacting matrix model can be derived thus replacing the free Gaussian model describing the undeformed N = 4 theory. These results will be then compared with those obtained with the dual CFT according to the AGT correspondence. The interactions introduced previously are in fact related to the insertions of commuting integrals of motion in the four-point CFT correlator and the chiral correlators are expressed as τ -derivatives of the gauge theory partition function on a finite Ω -background. This paper resolves one of the longest standing basic problems in the streaming computational model. Namely, optimal construction of quantile sketches. An e approximate quantile sketch receives a stream of items x1,·,xn and allows one to approximate the rank of any query item up to additive error e n with probability at least 1-δ.The rank of a query x is the number of stream items such that xi ≤ x. The minimal sketch size required for this task is trivially at least 1 e.Felber and Ostrovsky obtain a O((1 e)log(1 e)) space sketch for a fixed δ.Without restrictions on the nature of the stream or the ratio between e and n, no better upper or lower bounds were known to date. This paper obtains an O((1 e)log log (1 δ)) space sketch and a matching lower bound. This resolves the open problem and proves a qualitative gap between randomized and deterministic quantile sketching for which an Ω((1 e)log(1 e)) lower bound is known. One of our contributions is a novel representation and modification of the widely used merge-and-reduce construction. This modification allows for an analysis which is both tight and extremely simple. The same technique was reported, in private communications, to be useful for improving other sketching objectives and geometric coreset constructions.
