abstract

In 2012 Gamayun, Iorgov, Lisovyy conjectured an explicit expression for the Painlev\'e VI $\tau$~function in terms of the Liouville conformal blocks with central charge $c=1$. We prove that proposed expression satisfies Painlev\'e VI $\tau$~function bilinear equations (and therefore prove the conjecture). The proof reduces to the proof of bilinear relations on conformal blocks. These relations were studied using the embedding of a direct sum of two Virasoro algebras into a sum of Majorana fermion and Super Virasoro algebra. In the framework of the AGT correspondence the bilinear equations on the conformal blocks can be interpreted in terms of instanton counting on the minimal resolution of $\mathbb{C}^2/\mathbb{Z}_2$ (similarly to Nakajima-Yoshioka blow-up equations).

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The Newton polygon of the quantum curve for a 3d N=2 brane configuration is conjectured to equal the toric diagram dual to its (p,q) 5-brane web, with derivations for Lagrangian cases and new matrix models for p>=2.

    For (1,k) Virasoro models, periodic vertex operators plus two degenerate fields solve a modified Riemann–Hilbert problem; in the k=2, c=-2 case the solution is explicit and satisfies new bilinear identities.
