abstract

The short-distance expansion of the tau function of the radial sine-Gordon/Painlev\'e III equation is given by a convergent series which involves irregular $c=1$ conformal blocks and possesses certain periodicity properties with respect to monodromy data. The long-distance irregular expansion exhibits a similar periodicity with respect to a different pair of coordinates on the monodromy manifold. This observation is used to conjecture an exact expression for the connection constant providing relative normalization of the two series. Up to an elementary prefactor, it is given by the generating function of the canonical transformation between the two sets of coordinates.

    The paper derives the modular connection constant for tau functions on the one-punctured torus and obtains an exact closed formula for the c=1 Virasoro modular kernel.

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Explicit entire eigenfunctions are constructed for the difference operators 2Λ^N cosh(p)+V_N(x) with arbitrary polynomial potential; they become square-integrable only at a discrete set of energies.
