We compute the fundamental correlation functions in two-dimensional rational conformal field theory, from which all other correlators can be obtained by sewing: the correlators of three bulk fields on the sphere, one bulk and one boundary field on the disk, three boundary fields on the disk, and one bulk field on the cross cap. We also consider conformal defects and calculate the correlators of three defect fields on the sphere and of one defect field on the cross cap. Each of these correlators is presented as the product of a structure constant and the appropriate conformal two- or three-point block. The structure constants are expressed as invariants of ribbon graphs in three-manifolds.

  1. Higher Connection in Open String Field Theory

    hep-th 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A 2-form connection is defined in the space of open string field theory solutions, producing invariant higher holonomies and 3-form curvature potentially corresponding to the B-field.
