abstract
A discussion of character formulae for positive energy unitary irreducible representations of the the conformal group is given, employing Verma modules and Weyl group reflections. Product formulae for various conformal group representations are found. These include generalisations of those found by Flato and Fronsdal for SO(3,2). In even dimensions the products for free representations split into two types depending on whether the dimension is divisible by four or not.

Derives universal quadratic response of 3D CFT free energy to S^3 squashing proportional to c_T and constructs thermal effective action for high-T Seifert manifolds with explicit Wilson coefficients.
Recovers Minkowski massless integer-spin solution space as smooth limit of AdS solution space for even dimensions via cosmological-constant expansion of source and vev.
Establishes correspondence between flat, thermal, and defect conformal partial waves via shadow formalism, obtaining thermal blocks from flat four-point and defect two-point functions and reducing the Casimir equation diagonally.
