<sec><title>Introduction</title>
<p><![CDATA[

Two-dimensional conformal field theories with Virasoro algebra have
dual description in terms of pure gravity in three-dimensional
asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetime~\cite{Brown-ml-1986nw}. The
correspondence establishes a connection between various important
objects on two sides of the AdS/CFT correspondence.  While for finite
values of the central charge $c$ this connection is still not enough
studied, in the case where the central charge tends to infinity
$c\rightarrow\infty$ there are many interesting results found
recently. Bulk computations in this limit are performed using a saddle
point approximation and allow to reconstruct the content of AdS theory
from the boundary CFT configuration (see,
e.g.,~\cite{Heemskerk-ml-2009pn,ElShowk-ml-2011ag,Fitzpatrick-ml-2012cg,Jackson-ml-2014nla,deBoer-ml-2014sna}
and references therein).  Remarkably, in this case holographic
computation can be performed not only for correlation functions
(representing, of course, our main interest) but also for more
fundamental objects --- conformal block
functions~\cite{Belavin-ml-1984vu}.

In the regime $c\rightarrow\infty$ we are dealing with the
(semi)classical conformal blocks.  Recently, the construction of the
classical conformal blocks in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence was
investigated~\cite{Fitzpatrick-ml-2014vua,Asplund-ml-2014coa,Hijano-ml-2015rla}.
There was established a connection between the classical four-point
block on the sphere with two heavy and two light operators and the
classical action of some worldlines combination in asymptotically
AdS$_3$ geometry.  Conformal blocks represent building blocks in the
construction of the correlation functions. They are holomorphic
functions of the coordinates $z_i$ of fields conveniently defined
using the dual \emph{pant decomposition} diagram.  In
figure~\bref{block} the dual diagram for $n$-point block is given (the
meaning of two bold lines is explained later). It represents the
contribution from the states in the Virasoro representations with
highest weights $\tilde\Delta_1, \ldots, \tilde\Delta_{n-3}$ (internal
lines) to the correlation function of the fields with conformal
dimensions $\Delta_i$ (external lines).  We denote the corresponding
$n$-point conformal block depending on the parameters of the external
and internal conformal dimensions (as well as on the central charge)
\be
\mathcal{F}(z_1, \ldots, z_n|\Delta_1, \ldots, \Delta_n;
 \tilde{\Delta}_1, \ldots, \tilde{\Delta}_{n-3};c) \,.
\ee
The antiholomorphic block is defined similarly, replacing holomorphic
coordinates $z_k$ by antiholomorphic $\bar{z}_k$. The construction of
the correlation functions involves the summation of the products of
the holomorphic and antiholomorphic blocks over all possible
intermediate channels $\tilde \Delta_i$ weighted with the structure
constants of the operator algebra.

There exist many evidences (see,
e.g.,~\cite{Zamolodchikov1986,Harlow-ml-2011ny}) that in the classical
limit the conformal blocks must exponentiate as
\par\vskip-\baselineskip
{\small\be\label{classblockdef}
\lim_{c\rightarrow\infty} \mathcal{F}(z_1,\ldots ,z_n|\Delta_1,\ldots ,\Delta_n;\tilde{\Delta}_1,\ldots ,\tilde{\Delta}_{n-3};c) \sim \exp \big\{ c f(z_1,\ldots ,z_n|\epsilon_1,\ldots ,\epsilon_n;\tilde{\epsilon}_1,\ldots ,\tilde{\epsilon}_{n-3}) \big\} \,,
\ee}where $\epsilon_k=\frac{\Delta_k}{c}$ and
$\tilde{\epsilon_k}=\frac{\tilde{\Delta}_k}{c}$
are called \emph{classical dimensions} and 
$f(z_1,\ldots ,z_n|\epsilon_1,\ldots,\epsilon_n;$
 $\tilde{\epsilon}_1,\ldots ,\tilde{\epsilon}_{n-3})$
is the classical conformal block representing our main interest.

There are different possible classical limits of the conformal blocks
dependent on the behaviour of the classical dimensions $\epsilon_i$
and $\tilde\epsilon_i$~\cite{Zamolodchikov-ml-1995aa,Fitzpatrick-ml-2014vua,Hijano-ml-2015rla,Fitzpatrick-ml-2015zha}.
If the classical dimension remains finite in the classical limit, the
corresponding field is called ``heavy'' otherwise it is ``light''.  If
all fields are light we are dealing with the \emph{global} $sl(2)$
conformal block while in the opposite case where all fields are heavy
we are dealing with the \emph{proper} classical block.  All other
possibilities that could be referred to as heavy-light classical
blocks can be considered as an interpolation between these two extreme
regimes.

In this paper we study $n$-point classical conformal block in the
context of the AdS/CFT correspondence. We are interested in the case
where the classical conformal dimension of two fields $\epsilon_{n-1}$
and $\epsilon_n$ are heavy.  This fact is expressed using bold lines
in figure~\bref{block}.  The heavy operators with equal conformal
dimensions $\epsilon_{n} = \epsilon_{n-1} \equiv \epsilon_h$ produce
an asymptotically AdS$_3$ geometry identified either with a deficit
angle or BTZ black hole geometry.  To describe the interpolation
between the proper conformal block and the conformal block with only
two heavy fields it is instructive to introduce a scale factor
$\delta$~\cite{Hijano-ml-2015rla} that we call \emph{a lightness
  parameter}.  Schematically, provided that all except two dimensions
are rescaled as $\epsilon \rightarrow \delta \epsilon$ and
$\tilde\epsilon \rightarrow \delta \tilde\epsilon$ there appear a
series expansion
\be\label{lightness}
f(z|\epsilon, \tilde\epsilon) = f_{\delta}(z|\epsilon, \tilde\epsilon)\, \delta
+f_{\delta^2}(z|\epsilon, \tilde\epsilon)\, \delta^2 +\ldots \,.
\ee
The leading contribution $f_{\delta}(z)$ yields the conformal block
with only two heavy fields, while taking into account sub-leading
contributions approximate the proper conformal block on the left hand
side.

From the AdS/CFT perspective, the boundary fields are realized via
particular graph of worldlines of $n-3$ classical point probes
propagating in the background geometry formed by the two boundary
heavy fields. On the bulk side, the heavy field dimensions are
expressed via the mass parameter $\alpha^2 = 1-4\epsilon_h$ of the
background metric ($\alpha^2 >0$ for a conical defect, $\alpha^2<0$
for the BTZ black hole), while the light dimensions are identified
with AdS masses via the standard formula for scalar fields, 
$m^2 = \Delta(\Delta-4)/R_{\rm AdS}$.  Note that in this case the
lightness parameter $\delta$ introduced in~\eqref{lightness} measures
a backreaction of the background on a probe.

Using symmetry arguments three-dimensional bulk analysis can be
consistently reduced to a constant time slice identified with a
two-dimensional disk.  The corresponding bulk configuration of the
worldlines is shown in figure~\bref{bulk}. To draw the bulk worldline
graph in figure~\bref{bulk} associated to a given boundary diagram in
figure~\bref{block} we have a simple mnemonic rule: the boundary
diagram is to be pasted into the disc in such a way that outer ends of
solid lines are attached to distinguished points on the boundary
circle, while bold lines are collapsed into the origin of coordinates
with one intermediate wavy line attached.

It was argued
in~\cite{Fitzpatrick-ml-2014vua,Asplund-ml-2014coa,Hijano-ml-2015rla} that the
classical conformal block coincides with the bulk classical action
\be\label{block-action}
S_{\rm cl}^{\rm bulk} = z^{\gamma}f_{\delta}(z|\epsilon, \tilde \epsilon) \,,
\ee
where 
\be
S_{\rm cl}^{\rm bulk} = \sum_{i=1}^{n-2} \epsilon_i\, L_i
+\sum_{i=1}^{n-3} \tilde{\epsilon}_i\, \tilde L_i \,,
\ee
and $L_i$ and $\tilde L_i$ are lengths of different geodesic segments
on a fixed time slice.  The power-law 
$\gamma = \gamma(\epsilon, \tilde \epsilon)$ defines the asymptotic
behavior of the corresponding $n$-point correlation function while the
conformal block starts with the constant term. As the classical action
is computed in bulk variables the exact correspondence
in~\eqref{block-action} assumes a conformal transformation form the
cylinder to the plane~\cite{Hijano-ml-2015rla}.

To clarify the proposed identification of the graphs and the
respective quantities we explicitly focus on the $n=5$ case. Using the
AGT correspondence~\cite{Alday-ml-2009aq} we compute the heavy-light
classical conformal $5$-pt block. The corresponding worldline
configuration in the bulk is described by a system of irrational
equations which are too difficult to solve exactly. It properly
reflects the complexity of finding closed expressions for (classical)
conformal blocks~\cite{Litvinov-ml-2013sxa,Perlmutter-ml-2015iya}. Instead,
to solve the equation system we propose to use a series expansion
method. Starting with a known exact (seed) solution to the equation
system and expanding around the seed with respect to some deformation
parameter one finds the perturbative solution. As the seed solution we
use a 5-pt block with one of the fields taken to be the unit operator
what precisely corresponds the 4-pt block considered previously
in~\cite{Fitzpatrick-ml-2014vua,Hijano-ml-2015rla}.

The next sections discuss bulk/boundary realizations technically.  The
exposition is organized as follows. In section~\bref{sec:boundcomp} we
consider the AGT representation of $n$-point conformal blocks. In
particular, in section~\bref{sec:fivepoint} we explicitly compute the
classical $5$-point conformal block. Then, in section~\bref{sec:worldline}
we switch to the bulk analysis and discuss general properties of a
probe particle worldlines in the background geometry. In this paper we
consider the case of conical deficit only ($\alpha^2>0$). In
section~\bref{sec:5line} we explicitly formulate the system of
equations underlying the respective five-line graph in the bulk.
Section~\bref{sec:deformation} discusses the perturbation method that
treats the $5$-pt case as a deformation of the $4$-pt case. In
section~\bref{sec:pert} we find an exact formula for the corresponding
worldline action and compare it with the boundary results. In the last
section~\bref{sec:multi} we propose a multi-line generalization of the
approach supported in the 5-line case. Section~\bref{sec:conclusion}
contains our conclusions and outlooks.

\label{sec:boundcomp}

The boundary computation is reduced to the analysis of the classical
conformal block in the Virasoro CFT\@.  In this context there exist
many different methods, each one having its own advantages and
disadvantages. For instance, the elliptic recursion method can be
easily combined with the semiclassical limit~\cite{Zamolodchikov-ml-1985ie}.
For generic four-point classical conformal block on the sphere an
explicit representation in terms of the regularized action evaluated
on certain solution of the Painlev\'e VI equation is
available~\cite{Litvinov-ml-2013sxa}.  Another method for computing the
classical conformal block directly is the monodromy
method~\cite{Zamolodchikov1986,Harlow-ml-2011ny}. However, these methods
require quite complicated independent analysis for each particular
number of insertions in the correlator which is not easily
generalized.

We find it instructive to adopt here another, the so-called AGT method
(see~\cite{Alday-ml-2009aq} and references therein for Liouville theory
and~\cite{Alkalaev-ml-2014sma,Bershtein-ml-2014qma} for Minimal Models)
which gives a simple uniform representation of the conformal blocks
for arbitrary number of fields and for any genus.

\label{sec:combrepr}

The AGT correspondence~\cite{Alday-ml-2009aq} establishes a connection
between $2d$ conformal field theories and the special class of $4d$
gauge theories in the so-called Omega background (for more details
see~\cite{Nekrasov-ml-2002qd} and references therein). In particular, the
correspondence allows to express the CFT conformal block functions in
terms of the Nekrasov instanton partition functions for the gauge
theories with the special matter fields content encoded in the dual
pant decomposition diagram. These instanton partition functions are
known explicitly, therefore using AGT leads to the explicit results
for arbitrary $n$-point conformal block. We note also that AGT is
applicable on a surface of arbitrary genus.

First, let us describe the AGT construction for the general $n$-point
conformal block\footnote{Here we discuss the construction of the
  conformal blocks on the sphere with the dual diagram having no
  closed loops. For higher genera, the diagrams associated to the
  block functions contain a number of loops and the AGT formulas
  require simple modifications.} associated to the correlation function
$\langle\Phi_{1}(z_{1},\bar{z}_{1})\dots\Phi_{n}(z_{n},\bar{z}_{n})\rangle$.
Using projective invariance we fix three points $z_{1}=0$,
$z_{n-1}=1$, $z_{n}=\infty$, and replace
\begin{equation}\label{zq}
z_{i+1} = q_{i}q_{i+1}\dots q_{n-3} 
\quad\text{for}\quad
1 \leq i \leq n-3 \,.
\end{equation}
The conformal block is given by the following series expansion
\begin{equation}\label{conformal-block-explicit}
\mathcal{F}(q|\Delta,\tilde{\Delta},c) =
1 +\sum_{k} q_{1}^{k_{1}}q_{2}^{k_{2}} \dots q_{n-3}^{k_{n-3}}\,
\mathcal{F}_{k}(\Delta,\tilde{\Delta},c) \,,
\end{equation}
where $\Delta=\{\Delta_{1},\dots,\Delta_{n}\}$ is the set of external
dimensions, $\tilde{\Delta}=\{\tilde{\Delta}_{1},\dots,\tilde{\Delta}_{n-3}\}$
is the set of the intermediate dimensions and $q=\{q_1,\dots, q_{n-3}\}$.
The sum in~\eqref{conformal-block-explicit} goes over all sets of
positive integers, $k = \{k_1,\ldots ,k_{n-3}\}$.

Using the standard Liouville parametrization,
\be\label{Liouville}
\Delta_{i} = \frac{Q^{2}}{4}-P_i^{2} \,, \qquad
\tilde{\Delta}_{j} = \frac{Q^{2}}{4}-\tilde{P}_j^{2} \,, \qquad 
c = 1+6Q^{2} , \qquad 
Q = b+\frac{1}{b} \,,
\ee
the AGT representation of the $n$-point conformal block is given
as~\cite{Alday-ml-2009aq,Alba-ml-2010qc}
\begin{equation}\label{FF}
\mathcal{F}(q|\Delta,\tilde{\Delta},c) =
\prod_{r=1}^{n-3} \prod_{s=r}^{n-3} 
(1-q_{r}\dots q_{s})^{2\left(P_{r+1}-\frac{Q}{2}\right)\left(P_{s+2}+\frac{Q}{2}\right)}\,
\mathcal{Z}(q|\Delta,\tilde{\Delta},c) \,,
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}\mathcal{Z}(q|\Delta,\tilde{\Delta},c) =
1 +\sum_{k} q_{1}^{k_{1}}q_{2}^{k_{2}}\dots q_{n-3}^{k_{n-3}}\,
\mathcal{Z}_{k}(\Delta,\tilde{\Delta},c) \,,
\end{equation}
and
\begin{equation}\label{Zvac}
\mathcal{Z}_{k}(\Delta,\tilde{\Delta},c) =
\!\!\sum_{\vec{\lambda}_{1},\dots,\vec{\lambda}_{n-3}}
\!\!\!\!\!\frac{Z(P_{2}|P_1,\varnothing;\tilde{P}_{1},\vec{\lambda}_{1})Z(P_{3}|\tilde{P}_{1},\vec{\lambda}_{1};\tilde{P}_{2},\vec{\lambda}_{2}) \cdots Z(P_{n-1}|\tilde{P}_{n-3},\vec{\lambda}_{n-3};P_n,\varnothing)}{Z\big(\frac{Q}{2}|\tilde{P}_1,\vec{\lambda}_1;\tilde{P}_1,\vec{\lambda}_1\big) \cdots Z\big(\frac{Q}{2}|\tilde{P}_{n-3},\vec{\lambda}_{n-3};\tilde{P}_{n-3},\vec{\lambda}_{n-3}\big)} \,.
\end{equation}
Here, the sum goes over $(n-3)$ pairs of Young tableaux 
$\vec\lambda_j =(\lambda_j^{(1)}, \lambda_j^{(2)})$ with the total number
of cells $|\vec{\lambda}_{j}|\equiv |\lambda_j^{(1)}|+|\lambda_j^{(2)}|=k_{j}$.
The explicit form of functions $Z$ reads

Here, in terms of the parameters $q_1$ and $q_2$~\eqref{zq} the

In what follows we are interested in the conformal block with
dimensions
\be\label{PPPP}
P_4 = P_5 \,, \qquad
P_1 = P_2 \,, \qquad
\tilde{P}_1 = \tilde{P}_2 \,.
\ee
We find
\be\label{calZt}
\mathcal{Z}(q_1,q_2|t) = 
1 +\frac{(1 +b^2 -2 b P_3) (1 +b^2 +2 b P_3) (q_1 +q_2)}{8 b^2}t +\cO(t^2) \,,
\ee
where $t$ is convenient formal parameter, $t^m$ term takes into
account contributions $q_1^{m_1}q_2^{m_2}$ with $m=m_1+m_2$. To
reproduce the original function~\eqref{calZ} one sets $t=1$
in~\eqref{calZt} so that $\mathcal{Z}(q_1,q_2)=\mathcal{Z}(q_1,q_2|1)$.
Higher order expansion coefficients in $t$ needed for the subsequent
analysis are not shown here, and can be directly read off the general
formula~\eqref{calZZ}.


\paragraph{Classical 5-pt conformal block.}

Within the the Liouville parametrization~\eqref{Liouville} the limit
$c\rightarrow 0$ can be equivalently understood as $b\rightarrow 0$,
so that $b^2 = 6/c$. In particular, it is convenient to define
classical dimensions as $\epsilon = 6\Delta/c$.  Then, the classical
conformal block in~\eqref{classblockdef} is given by
\begin{equation}\label{5classblock}
\mathcal{F}(q_1,q_2) = e^{-\frac{f(q_1,q_2)}{b^2}} , \qquad b \rightarrow 0 \,.
\end{equation}
Equivalently, 
\begin{equation}
f(q_1,q_2) = -\lim_{b\rightarrow0} b^2 \ln \cF(q_1,q_2) \,.
\end{equation}
Liouville parameters $P_i$ are expressed via conformal dimensions
$\Delta_i$ by means of the following substitution
\begin{align}
P_4 = P_5 &= \sqrt{\frac{(b+1/b)^2}{4} -\frac{\epsilon_h}{b^2}} \,, \\
P_1 = P_2 &= \sqrt{\frac{(b+1/b)^2}{4} -\delta \frac{\epsilon_1}{b^2}} \,, \\
P_3 &= \sqrt{\frac{(b+1/b)^2}{4} -\delta \frac{\epsilon_3}{b^2}} \,, \\
\tilde{P}_1 = \tilde{P}_2 &= 
\sqrt{\frac{(b+1/b)^2}{4} -\delta \frac{\tilde{\epsilon}_1}{b^2}} \,,
\end{align}
where $\delta$ is the lightness parameter~\eqref{lightness}. Note that
$P_{4,5}$ associated to heavy fields are of the zeroth order in
$\delta$.

Following the general discussion in the Introduction the expansion in
$\delta$~\eqref{lightness} corresponds to the semiclassical expansion
in the bulk with the first order contributions identified as
in~\eqref{block-action}. Hence, according~\eqref{5classblock} we
collect terms of order $b^{-2}$ in the expansion of $\ln \cF(q_1,q_2)$
and then expand in $\delta$ up to first order.  Using the generating
functions in the formal variable $t$ one finds
\be
f(q_1,q_2|t) = f_{\delta}(q_1,q_2|t) \delta +f_{\delta^2}(q_1,q_2|t) \delta^2 +\ldots \,,

The bulk computation procedure discussed in the next sections allows
to reconstruct the classical conformal block using a series expansion
around some exact seed solution to the bulk equations.  In
section~\bref{sec:deformation} we will explain this procedure taking
as a seed solution the five-point classical block with the unity
operator insertion $\Phi_3 = \mathbb{I}$. This means that the
deformation parameter is identified with the conformal dimension
$\epsilon_3$ and in the limit $\epsilon_3 = 0$ the 5-pt block goes to
the $4$-pt one. Hence, to compare with the results of the bulk
computation we will need an expansion of the 5-pt classical conformal
block with respect to the parameter $\epsilon_3$, i.e.,
\be\label{pertu}
f_{\delta}(q_1,q_2|t) = f^{(0)}_{\delta}(q_1,q_2|t)
+\epsilon_3 f^{(1)}_{\delta}(q_1,q_2|t)
+\epsilon_3^2 f^{(2)}_{\delta}(q_1,q_2|t) +\ldots \,.
\ee
Here, the leading term $f^{(0)}_{\delta}(q_1,q_2|1)$ is identified
with the 4-pt classical conformal block, while the sub-leading terms
perturbatively reconstruct the 5-pt classical conformal block. The
explicit form of the first two terms read off from~\eqref{5ptdec1} is
\begin{align}
f^{(0)}_{\delta}(q_1,q_2|t) &=
-\frac{1}{2} \tilde{\epsilon}_1 q_1 q_2 t^2 
+\frac{1}{48} \big(-4 \epsilon_1 q_1^2 q_2^2
 -10 \tilde{\epsilon}_1 q_1^2 q_2^2 +4 \epsilon_1 q_1^2 q_2^2 \alpha^2
 +\tilde{\epsilon}_1 q_1^2 q_2^2 \alpha^2\big) t^4 \notag\\
&\quad +\frac{1}{48} \big(-4 \epsilon_1 q_1^3 q_2^3
 -6 \tilde{\epsilon}_1 q_1^3 q_2^3 +4 \epsilon_1 q_1^3 q_2^3 \alpha^2
 +\tilde{\epsilon}_1 q_1^3 q_2^3 \alpha^2\big) t^6 +\cO(t^8) \,, ~~
\end{align}
and
\begin{align}
f^{(1)}_{\delta}(q_1,q_2|t) &=
-\frac{1}{2}(q_1+ q_2) t
+\frac{1}{24} \big(-3 q_1^2 +6 q_1 q_2 -7 q_2^2 +4 q_2^2 \alpha^2\big) t^2 \notag\\
&\quad +\frac{1}{24} \big(-q_1^3 -3 q_1^2 q_2 +q_1 q_2^2 -5 q_2^3 -4 q_1 q_2^2 \alpha^2
 +4 q_2^3 \alpha^2\big) t^3 +\cO(t^4) \,. ~~
\end{align}
As expected, function $f^{(0)}_{\delta}(q_1,q_2|t)$ depends on the
combination $q_1q_2$ only which is identified with the coordinate
$z_2$, cf.~\eqref{zq5}.  Setting $t=1$ one can recognize in the above
series expression the following functions
\be\label{finblock1}
f^{(0)}_{\delta}(q_1,q_2) = 2 \epsilon_1 
\ln\bigg[\!-\frac{2 \sinh\big[\frac{\alpha \ln[1 -q_1 q_2]}{2}\big]}{\alpha q_1 q_2}\bigg]
-\tilde{\epsilon}_1 \ln \bigg[\!-\frac{4 \tanh\big[\frac{\alpha \ln[1-q_1 q_2]}{4}\big]}{\alpha q_1 q_2}\bigg] +\epsilon_1 \ln[1-q_1 q_2] \,,
\ee
and
\be\label{finblock2}
f^{(1)}_{\delta}(q_1,q_2) =
\ln \bigg[\frac{\sinh\big[\frac{\alpha (\ln[1-q_1 q_2] -2 \ln[1-q_2])}{2}\big]}{\alpha q_2}\bigg]
+\ln[1-q_2] \,.
\ee
After a particular conformal transformation of the coordinates these
are the expansion coefficients that are seen on the bulk side in
section~\bref{sec:pert}.

A few comments are in order. Firstly, the choice of conformal
dimensions~\eqref{PPPP} is not assumed to be clear and requires some
explanation.  As we already discussed, the bulk computations
corresponding to our boundary configuration (discussed in the next
sections) rely on the specially developed perturbation procedure
around known exactly seed solution. So, in order to find explicitly
general 5-point conformal blocks we have to fix a number of
perturbation parameters. In our case we consider one possible choice
corresponding to the value $\epsilon_3=0$~\eqref{pertu}.  On the
general physical grounds (namely, taking into account fusion rules) in
this case we forced to fix $\tilde{\epsilon}_1=\tilde{\epsilon}_2$.
This explains our choice~\eqref{PPPP}.  More general conformal block
within the framework of this perturbation procedure can be
reconstructed order by order with respect to each perturbation
parameter. Thus, to evaluate the conformal block with
$\tilde{\epsilon}_1\neq\tilde{\epsilon}_2$ we have to introduce
additional small parameter $\delta'=\tilde{\epsilon}_1-\tilde{\epsilon}_2$,
and develop corresponding perturbation theory which is based on the
same idea, and so represents not conceptual but technical difference.

Secondly, we note that the AGT method used here allows to get only
series expansion of the conformal block functions. So that,
essentially what we perform is the check that the series expansion of
the resulting expression obtained in the bulk computation gives
exactly the coefficients of the classical conformal block calculated
up to rather high order $\cO(q_1^mq_2^n)$. Thus, the bulk computation
of section~\bref{sec:pert} allows to derive the exact result, while
the boundary computation allows only to conjecture this expression and
check the lower level coefficients comparing with the bulk. It would
be interesting to actually derive this exact result from the boundary
point of view.

<p><![CDATA[
\label{sec:worldline}

Let us consider a massive point particle moving in the background with
a conical defect. In the cylindrical coordinate system 
$x^\mu = (t, \phi, \rho)$ the metric $g_{\mu\nu}(x)$ can be read off
from the interval
\be\label{metric}
ds^2 = \frac{\alpha^2}{\cos^2 \rho}
\bigg(\!-dt^2 +\sin^2\rho d\phi^2 +\frac{1}{\alpha^2} d\rho^2\bigg) \,,
\ee
where $\alpha^2 >0$ parameterizes an angle deficit. The physical
singularity is placed at $\rho = 0$, where the Riemann tensor
component $R_{\rho\phi\rho\phi}$ blows up. The conformal boundary
corresponds to points $\rho = \pi/2$. To approach the boundary we use
the regularization $\cos \rho = \Lambda^{-1}$ at $\Lambda \rightarrow \infty$.

Particle propagation between initial and final positions is described
by the worldline action
\be\label{OPA}
S = m \int_{\lambda^{'}}^{\lambda^{''}} d\lambda 
\,\sqrt{g_{\mu\nu}(x) \dot{x}^\mu\dot{x}^\nu} \equiv 
m \int_{\lambda^{'}}^{\lambda^{''}} d\lambda 
\,\sqrt{g_{tt} \dot{t}^2+g_{\phi\phi} \dot{\phi}^2+g_{\rho\rho} \dot{\rho}^2} \,,
\ee
where $m$ is the mass of a particle, $\lambda$ is the evolution
parameter, and $\dot{x}^\mu = d x^{\mu}/d \lambda$. In general, ending
points are parameters of the theory and the variation of the on-shell
action reads
\be\label{variation_bound}
\delta S = p_\mu^{''}\delta x^{'' \mu} -p_\mu^{'}\delta x^{' \mu} ,
\ee
where $p^{'}_\mu$ and $p^{''}_\mu$ are momenta in the initial and
final positions, $\delta x^{' \mu}$ and $\delta x^{'' \mu}$ are
respective coordinate variations.  The corresponding Euler-Lagrange
equations of motion are the geodesic equation provided that $\lambda$
is identified with a length of the path. In this case one arrives at
the normalization condition
\be\label{properpar}
|\dot{x}| \equiv \sqrt{g_{\mu\nu}(x) \dot{x}^\mu\dot{x}^\nu} = 1 \,.
\ee

The bulk dynamics can be reduced to a constant time disk with polar
coordinates $\rho$ and $\phi$. Indeed, $t$ and $\phi$ are cyclic
coordinates resulting in the conservation laws, $\dot{p}_t = 0$ and
$\dot{p}_\phi = 0$, where $p_t = g_{tt}\dot{t}$ and 
$p_\phi = g_{\phi\phi} \dot{\phi}$ are the corresponding
momenta. Choosing a particular value $p_t = 0$ one arrives at 
$\dot{t} = 0$ $\rightarrow$ $t(\lambda) = \text{const}$. 
From now on we choose a constant time slice $t=0$. Taking into account
the normalization condition~\eqref{properpar} integration constants
can be identified with initial and final radial positions and the
value of the conserved angular momentum $p_\phi$. Solving equations of
motion explicitly is superfluous as we need just an action value
evaluated on a given path. Using~\eqref{properpar} one finds that the
action is a length of the path
\be\label{actlambda}
S = \int_{\lambda^{'}}^{\lambda^{''}} d \lambda = \lambda^{''} -\lambda^{'} .
\ee

A useful trick is that the normalization condition~\eqref{properpar}
is sufficient to express a proper parameter $\lambda$ as a function of
radius and angular momentum values~\cite{Hijano-ml-2015rla}. For 
$\dot{t} = 0$ the condition~\eqref{properpar} can be cast into the
form
\be\label{geod}
\frac{1}{\cos^2\rho} \dot{\rho}^2 +\frac{p_{\phi}^2}{\alpha^2}\cot^2\rho = 1 \,,
\ee 
from which it follows that the radial velocity is expressed as 
\be\label{rhorad}
\dot \rho = \pm \cos\rho\, \sqrt{1-\frac{p_\phi^2}{\alpha^2}\cot^2 \rho} \,,
\ee
where the overall sign depends on the direction of the $\lambda$
flow. The minimal radial distance between the particle path and the
singularity is therefore given by 
$\tan^2 \rho_{\rm min} = \big(\frac{p_\phi}{\alpha}\big)^2$.
Obviously, the maximal radial distance corresponds to the point
$\rho_{\rm max} = \pi/2$ located on the boundary.  Changing variables
as $y = \cot^2 \rho$ at $\dot \rho \geq 0$, and introducing notation
\be\label{s}
s = \frac{|p_\phi|}{\alpha} \,,
\ee
equation~\eqref{geod} can be directly integrated to yield the on-shell action 
\be\label{lambda}
S = \ln \frac{\sqrt{\eta}}{\sqrt{1+\eta} +\sqrt{1-s^2 \eta}}\,\bigg|_{\eta^{'}}^{\eta^{''}} ,
\ee
where $\eta^{'} = \cot^2 \rho^{'}$ and $\eta^{''} = \cot^2 \rho^{''}$
are initial/final radial positions. Parameter $s$ is an integration
constant that defines a particular form of the geodesic segment.

The simplest case of a geodesic segment is the radial line starting
(or ending, depending on the $\lambda$ flow direction) at the
singularity point $\rho_2 = 0$, see figure~\bref{line}.

We see that $S_{\rm rad}$ is finite implying that a particle reaches the
singularity within a finite time period. One interprets the falling
into the singularity as a cubic vertex of the two heavy operators and
a light operator represented by a probe. For the further purpose we
find a length of the radial line for $\rho_1 = \arccos \sin (\alpha w/2)$:
\be\label{rad}
S_{\rm rad} = -\ln \tan \frac{\alpha w}{4} \,. 
\ee

For the geodesic arc connecting two boundary points $\phi = 0$ and
$\phi = w$ t11he angular momentum $p_\phi$ is not vanishing 
$s = \cot \frac{\alpha w}{2}$. From~\eqref{lambda} it
follows~\cite{Roberts-ml-2012aq,Asplund-ml-2014coa,Hijano-ml-2015rla}
that the length of the arc is given by
\be\label{arc}
S_{\rm arc} = \ln \bigg[\sin\frac{\alpha w}{2}\bigg] +\ln 2\Lambda \,.
\ee
In particular, $S_{\rm arc}$ diverges at $\Lambda \rightarrow \infty$ so
that it takes an infinite time to reach the boundary. Note that
$\rho_1 = \arccos \sin \frac{\alpha w}{2}$ chosen to
compute~\eqref{rad} corresponds to the zero value of the radial
velocity, or the minimal distance according to formula~\eqref{rhorad}.
From the graph in figure~\bref{line} it is clear that the minimal
distance is given by~\eqref{rad}.

The corresponding particle action reads 
\be\label{act5}
S = \sum_I \epsilon_I S_I \,, \qquad
I = 1,2,3,\a,\b \,,
\ee
where each component is given by~\eqref{OPA}. Initial/final positions
$\lambda^{'}$ and $\lambda^{''}$ correspond to various nodes in
figure~\bref{5bulk} including the singularity point, two vertices,
three boundary attachments. It is supposed that the singularity point
and boundary attachments are fixed parameters of the theory. There is
no loss of generality in supposing that $w_1 = 0$. From the boundary
perspective it is achieved doing a conformal map that moves a position
of the first external operator $z_1 \rightarrow 1$.  Positions of the
vertices are floating according to the minimal action principle.

From the normalization condition~\eqref{properpar} it follows 
$S_I = S_I^{''} -S_I^{'}$, and final/initial lengths are functions of the
boundary points $w_2$, $w_3$, classical dimensions $\epsilon_1$,
$\epsilon_2$, $\epsilon_3$ and $\tilde \epsilon_1$, $\tilde \epsilon_2$,
and the metric parameter $\alpha$ , i.e., $S_I^{'} = S_I^{'}(w|\alpha, \epsilon)$
and $S_I^{''} = S_I^{''}(w|\alpha, \epsilon)$.  The total action~\eqref{act5}
is then $S = S(w|\alpha, \epsilon)$.

Let us consider each of two vertices. In these points proper parameter
$\lambda$ can be chosen to be increasing away from the vertex.  Then,
denoting the vertex coordinates as $x_{1}^\mu$ and $x_2^\mu$ along
with the corresponding deviation $\delta x_1^\mu$ and $\delta x_2^\mu$
which are the same for all incoming lines, and using variation
formula~\eqref{variation_bound} one arrives at two equilibrium
conditions $P_{1}{}_\mu \delta x_1^\mu =0$ and 
$P_2{}_\mu \delta x_2^\mu = 0$, where $P_\mu$ is a total momentum of
lines incoming a given vertex. Explicitly, there are two following
conditions.
\begin{itemize}
\item First vertex $\a -1-2$. The equilibrium condition reads 
  \be\label{a12}
  \big(\tilde\epsilon_1 \tilde p_\mu^1
  +\epsilon_1 p_\mu^1 +\epsilon_2 p_\mu^2\big)\,\big|_{x=x_1} = 0 \,,
  \ee
  where $x_1$ stands for coordinates of the first vertex.

\item Second vertex $\a -\b -3$. The equilibrium condition reads
  \be\label{3ba}
  \big(\tilde\epsilon_1 \tilde p_\mu^1 +\tilde \epsilon_2 \tilde p_\mu^2
  +\epsilon_3 p_\mu^3\big)\,\big|_{x=x_2} = 0 \,,
  \ee
  where $x_2$ stands for coordinates of the second vertex.
\end{itemize}
Note that the action variations at the boundary attachments $w_2$ and
$w_3$ are not vanishing.  Instead, these are
\be\label{wz}
\begin{split}
\delta_{w_2}S(w_2,w_3|\alpha, \epsilon) &= p_\phi^2(w_2,w_3|\alpha, \epsilon)\delta w_2 \,, \\
\delta_{w_3} S(w_2,w_3|\alpha, \epsilon) &= p_\phi^3(w_2,w_3|\alpha, \epsilon)\delta w_3 \,,
\end{split}
\ee
where functions $p_\phi^2$ and $p_\phi^3$ are the angular momenta of
external lines 2 and 3 attached to the corresponding points. Knowing
these momenta explicitly one can integrate the equation
system~\eqref{wz} to find the action $S = S(w_2,w_3|\alpha, \epsilon)$
explicitly. In the 4-pt case the system is given by a single ordinary
differential equation and can be integrated explicitly~\cite{Hijano-ml-2015rla}.
However, for many-particle configurations a number of boundary
attachments increases thereby making the system~\eqref{wz} a partial
differential equation system. Note that equations~\eqref{wz} define
the so-called accessory parameters for the classical conformal blocks
which are identified here with the angular
momenta~\cite{Litvinov-ml-2013sxa,Hijano-ml-2015rla}.

The other way around is to compute the action explicitly recalling
that it is defined as a weighted sum of the path lengths~\eqref{act5}.
To this end, using the equilibrium conditions one explicitly finds
positions of the vertices and expresses all angular momenta as
functions of boundary attachments points $w_2$ and $w_3$. Summing up
all the lengths which are now functions of $w_{2,3}$ one eventually
arrives at the sought-for action function $S = S(w_2,w_3|\alpha, \epsilon)$.

<sec><title>Vertex analysis</title>
<p><![CDATA[

Below we study the component form of the equilibrium
conditions~\eqref{3ba} and~\eqref{a12}. Since the dynamics is reduced
to a fixed time disk both conditions trivialize for $\mu = t$. The
radial line $\b$ has vanishing angular momentum, $\tilde p_\phi^{2} =0$.


\paragraph{Equilibrium equations.}

For the vertex $\a-\b-3$, the components $\mu = \phi, \rho$ of the
equilibrium condition~\eqref{3ba} are given by
\be
\tilde \epsilon_1 \tilde p_\phi^1 +\epsilon_3 p_\phi^3 = 0 \,, \qquad
\epsilon_3 p_\rho^3 +\tilde \epsilon_1 \tilde p_\rho^1 +\tilde \epsilon_2 \tilde p_\rho^2 = 0 \,,
\ee
or, using the definition $p_\rho = g_{\rho\rho}\dot \rho$ and
formula~\eqref{rhorad}, one finds
\begin{align}
\epsilon_3 p_\phi^3 +\tilde \epsilon_1 \tilde p_\phi^1 &= 0 \,, \label{lin1}\\
\epsilon_3\, \sqrt{1-\frac{(p_\phi^3)^2}{\alpha^2 }\cot^2 \rho_2} 
+\tilde \epsilon_1\, \sqrt{1-\frac{(\tilde p_\phi^1)^2}{\alpha^2 }\cot^2 \rho_2} 
-\tilde \epsilon_2 &= 0 \,. \label{vertcoord1}
\end{align}
Here $\rho_2$ is the radial coordinate of the $\a-\b-3$ vertex, and
the radial momentum $\dot{\rho}_{(b)}<0$ since the proper parameter
$\lambda$ increases away from the vertex.

For the vertex $\a -1-2$, the components $\mu = \phi, \rho$ of the
equilibrium condition~\eqref{a12} are given by
\begin{align}
\tilde \epsilon_1 \tilde p_\phi^1 +\epsilon_1 p_\phi^1 
+\epsilon_2 p_\phi^2 &= 0 \,, \label{lin2}\\
-\tilde \epsilon_1\, \sqrt{1-\frac{(\tilde p_\phi^1)^2}{\alpha^2 }\cot^2 \rho_1} 
+\epsilon_1\, \sqrt{1-\frac{(p_\phi^1)^2}{\alpha^2}\cot^2 \rho_1} 
+\epsilon_2\, \sqrt{1-\frac{(p_\phi^2)^2}{\alpha^2}\cot^2 \rho_1} &= 0\,. \label{vertcoord2}
\end{align}
Here $\rho_1$ is the radial coordinate of the $\a -1-2$ vertex and
$\dot{\rho}_{(\a)} < 0$, $\dot{\rho}_{(2)}>0$, and $\dot{\rho}_{(1)} > 0$
since the proper parameter $\lambda$ increases away from the vertex.


\paragraph{Independent integration constants.}

The conserved angular momenta play the role of integration
constants. In our case, there are five angular momenta subjected to
three independent constraints. Namely, as the radial line $\b$ has
vanishing angular velocity and taking~\eqref{lin1} and~\eqref{lin2}
into account one finds
\be
\tilde p_\phi^2 = 0 \,, \qquad
\epsilon_3 p_\phi^3 +\tilde\epsilon_1 p_\phi^a = 0 \,, \qquad
\tilde \epsilon_1 \tilde p_\phi^1 +\epsilon_1 p_\phi^1 +\epsilon_2 p_\phi^2 = 0 \,.
\ee 
Using~\eqref{s} the above relations can be represented as follows
\be\label{rels}
\tilde s_2 = 0 \,, \qquad
\epsilon_3 s_3 -\tilde \epsilon_1 \tilde s_1 = 0 \,, \qquad
\epsilon_1 s_1 -\epsilon_2 s_2 -\tilde \epsilon_1 \tilde s_1 = 0 \,.
\ee
Note that quantities $s_I$ are non-negative and therefore the relative
signs are fixed according to the slopes of worldlines on figure~\bref{5bulk}.

On the other hand, equations~\eqref{vertcoord1} and~\eqref{vertcoord2}
can be used to find $\tan\rho_1$ and $\tan \rho_2$ as functions of two
independent angular momenta (integration constants).


\paragraph{\boldmath Vertex $\a-\b -3$ radial position.}

The consideration here is similar to that one for the $4$-pt
block. From~\eqref{vertcoord1} we have
\be\label{vertcoord11}
\epsilon_3 \sqrt{1-s_3^2 \eta_2} 
+\tilde \epsilon_1 \sqrt{1-\tilde s_1^2 \eta_2} = \tilde \epsilon_2 \,,
\ee
where angular parameters $s_{3}$ and $\tilde s_1$ are defined
according to~\eqref{s}, and
\be\label{etabar}
\eta_2 = \cot^2{\rho_2} \,.
\ee
Solving equation~\eqref{vertcoord11} for $\eta_2$ one finds
\be\label{1tan}
\eta_2  = -\frac{(\epsilon_3 -\tilde \epsilon_1 -\tilde \epsilon_2) (\epsilon_3 +\tilde \epsilon_1 -\tilde \epsilon_1) (\epsilon_3 -\tilde\epsilon_1 +\tilde\epsilon_2) (\epsilon_3 +\tilde\epsilon_1 +\tilde\epsilon_2)}{4\, \epsilon_3^2\, \tilde\epsilon_2^2\, s_3^2} \equiv \frac{\tau^2}{s_3^2} \,,
\ee
so that $\tau^2$ is a function of the conformal dimensions only 
\be\label{tau}
\tau^2 = -\frac{(\epsilon_3 -\tilde\epsilon_1 -\tilde\epsilon_2) (\epsilon_3 +\tilde\epsilon_1 -\tilde\epsilon_2) (\epsilon_3 -\tilde\epsilon_1 +\tilde\epsilon_2) (\epsilon_3 +\tilde\epsilon_1 +\tilde\epsilon_2)}{4\, \epsilon_3^2\,\tilde\epsilon_2^2} \,.
\ee
Function $\tau^2$ can be represented as $\tau^2 = \mu^2/\epsilon_3^2$,
where $\mu^2$ already appeared in the 4-pt case~\cite{Hijano-ml-2015rla},
\be\label{mu}
\mu^2 = \frac{\epsilon_{3}^2 +\tilde\epsilon_1^2 -\tilde\epsilon_2^2/2}{2} 
-\frac{(\epsilon_3^2 -\tilde\epsilon_1^2)^2}{4\tilde\epsilon_2^2} \,.
\ee


\paragraph{\boldmath Vertex $\a -1-2$ radial position.}

Equation~\eqref{vertcoord2} can be cast into the form 
\be\label{vertcoord21}
\epsilon_1 \sqrt{1-s_1^2 \eta_1} +\epsilon_2 \sqrt{1-s_2^2 \eta_1} = 
\tilde\epsilon_1 \sqrt{1-\tilde s_1^2 \eta_1} \,,
\ee
where momenta $s_{1,2}$ and $\tilde s_1$ are defined according
to~\eqref{s}, and $\eta_1$ is given by
\be\label{etatilde}
\eta_1 = \cot^2{\rho_1} \,.
\ee
The general solution to~\eqref{vertcoord21} reads
\be\label{solution}
\eta_1 = \frac{1-\sigma^2}{s_1^2+s_2^2 -2 s_1s_2 \sigma} \,, \qquad
\sigma = \frac{\epsilon_1^2 +\epsilon_2^2 -\tilde\epsilon_1^2}{2\epsilon_1\epsilon_2} \,.
\ee
Equivalently,  
\be\label{cottilde}
\eta_1 = \frac{(\epsilon_1 -\epsilon_2 -\tilde\epsilon_1) (\epsilon_1 +\epsilon_2 -\tilde\epsilon_1) (\epsilon_1 -\epsilon_2 +\tilde\epsilon_1) (\epsilon_1 +\epsilon_2 +\tilde\epsilon_1)}{4\epsilon_1 \epsilon_2 \big(s_1 s_2 (\epsilon_1^2 +\epsilon_2^2 -\tilde\epsilon_1^2) -\epsilon_1 \epsilon_2 (s_1^2 +s_2^2)\big)} \,,
\ee
cf.~\eqref{1tan}.
\pagebreak  
It is worth noting that parameter functions 
$\tau = \tau(\epsilon, \tilde\epsilon)$~\eqref{tau} and 
$\sigma = \sigma(\epsilon, \tilde\epsilon)$~\eqref{solution} are
homogeneous functions of the conformal dimensions.  We note also that
both $\eta_1$ and $\eta_2$ contain a classical ``fusion polynomial''
factor
\be\label{fusion}
\Pi(\epsilon_I, \epsilon_J, \epsilon_K) = 
(\epsilon_I -\epsilon_J -\epsilon_K) (\epsilon_I +\epsilon_J -\epsilon_K)
(\epsilon_I -\epsilon_J +\epsilon_K) (\epsilon_I +\epsilon_J +\epsilon_K) \,,
\ee
where $I,J,K = 1,2,3,\a,\b$. There are two useful propositions. 
\begin{itemize}
\item From $\Pi(\epsilon_I, \epsilon_J, \epsilon_K) \leq 0$ it follows that
  \be\label{lem1}
  \epsilon_I \leq \epsilon_J +\epsilon_K \,, \qquad
  I \neq J \neq K \,.
  \ee
  The proof is straightforward. In particular, it implies that
  $\eta_2 \geq 0$ and $\eta_1 \geq 0$. The first inequality is obvious
  from the definition~\eqref{1tan}, while to show the second one we
  recall that $\epsilon_1 s_1 \geq \epsilon_2 s_2$~\eqref{rels}.  We
  note that if~\eqref{lem1} is not satisfied then the bulk vertex
  disappears. In the boundary description it exactly corresponds to
  the case where the fusion rules in the corresponding vertex of the
  pant decomposition are violated. It explains the notion of the
  classical fusion polynomial introduced above.

\item In the limit $\tilde s_1 = 0$ the radial vertex coordinates are
  related as
  \be\label{lem2}
  \eta_1 = \eta_2 [\a \rightarrow  2,\b \rightarrow  \a, 3 \rightarrow 1] \,.
  \ee
  Using the third relation in~\eqref{rels} the proof is straightforward.
\end{itemize}

<sec><title>Angular separations</title>
<p><![CDATA[

Using the definition $p_\phi = g_{\phi\phi} \dot \phi$ and recalling
that the angular momenta are motion constants we find for a given
geodesic segment the following angle increment
\be\label{angular}
\Delta \phi = \pm \frac{p_\phi}{\alpha^2} \int_{\rho^{'}}^{\rho^{''}} 
\frac{d\rho \cos \rho}{\sin^2 \rho \big(1-\frac{p_\phi^2}{\alpha^2}\cot^2\rho\big)^{1/2}} \,.
\ee
Here, the overall sign depends on that of $\dot \rho$.  Explicitly, an
angle swept by the geodesic line characterized by angular parameter
$s=|p_{\phi}|/\alpha$ is given by
\be\label{log}
i \alpha \Delta\phi = 
\ln \frac{\sqrt{1-s^2 \cot^2\rho^{''}}-i s \sqrt{1+\cot^2 \rho^{''}}}{\sqrt{1-s^2 \cot^2\rho^{'}}-i s \sqrt{1+\cot^2 \rho^{'}}} \,.
\ee

Let $\psi_1$ and $\psi_2$ be angular coordinates of the first $\a -1-2$
and the second $\a -\b -3$ vertices respectively such that
$0 < \psi_1 < w_2 < \psi_2 < w_3$ (recall that we set $w_1 = 0$). Consider
angular separations of each geodesic segment. According to
figure~\bref{5bulk} they are given by
\be
\Delta\phi_1 = \psi_1 \,, \qquad
\Delta\phi_2 = w_2 -\psi_1 \,, \qquad
\Delta\phi_3 = w_3 -\psi_2 \,, \qquad
\Delta\tilde \phi_1 = \psi_2 -\psi_1 \,, \qquad
\Delta\tilde \phi_2 =  0 \,.
\ee
In particular, one finds the following angular equations 
\begin{align}
\Delta\phi_1 +\Delta \phi_{2} &= w_2 \,, \label{fc}\\
\Delta\phi_1 +\Delta \phi_{3} +\Delta \tilde \phi_1 &= w_3 \,, \label{sc}
\end{align}
where each angular separation is given by~\eqref{log}.  The above
analysis of the equilibrium equations defines radial coordinates
$\cot^2 \rho_1$ and $\cot^2 \rho_2$ in terms of the angular momenta.
According to~\eqref{log}, the angular separations are functions of two
independent momenta, say $s_1$ and $s_3$, and therefore the above
equation system can be solved as $s_{1,3} = s_{1,3}(w_2,w_3| \alpha, \epsilon)$.

For later use let us write all ingredients of the above angular equations 
\begin{equation}
\begin{aligned}
i\alpha \Delta \phi_1 &=
\ln \frac{\sqrt{1\!-\!s_1^2 \eta_1}-i s_1 \sqrt{1\!+\!\eta_1}}{1\!-\!i s_1 } \,, \quad
&i\alpha \Delta \phi_2 &=
\ln \frac{\sqrt{1\!-\!s_2^2 \eta_1}-i s_2 \sqrt{1\!+\!\eta_1}}{1\!-\!i s_2 } \,, \\
i\alpha \Delta \phi_3 &=
\ln \frac{\sqrt{1\!-\!s_3^2 \eta_2}-i s_3 \sqrt{1\!+\!\eta_2}}{1\!-\!i s_3 } \,, \quad
&i\alpha \Delta \tilde\phi_1 &=
\ln \frac{\sqrt{1\!-\!\tilde s_1^2 \eta_2}-i \tilde s_1 \sqrt{1\!+\!\eta_2}}{\sqrt{1\!-\!\tilde s_1^2 \eta_1}-i \tilde s_1 \sqrt{1\!+\!\eta_1}} \,, ~~
\end{aligned}
\ee
where we used notation~\eqref{etabar} and~\eqref{etatilde}. 


\paragraph{First angular condition.}

From the condition~\eqref{fc} we find  
\begin{equation}\label{firsteq}
e^{i\alpha w_2} = \frac{\big(\sqrt{1-s_1^2\,\eta_1} -i s_1 \sqrt{1+\eta_1}\big) \big(\sqrt{1-s_2^2\, \eta_1} -i s_2 \sqrt{1+\eta_1}\big)}{(1-i s_1) (1-i s_2)} \,.
\end{equation}
The right-hand-side is obviously a unimodular complex number so that
real and imaginary parts are not independent. It follows that we can
analyze either real or imaginary part of equation~\eqref{firsteq}
depending on simplicity of the corresponding expressions.

We consider the real part of equation~\eqref{firsteq}. Denoting
$A=\operatorname{Re}[e^{i\alpha w_2} (1-i s_1) (1-i s_2)]$, where
\be\label{A}
A = (1-s_1s_2) \cos \alpha w_2 +(s_1+s_2) \sin \alpha w_2 \,,
\ee
we find out the following irrational equation
\be
\sqrt{1-s_1^2\, \eta_1} \sqrt{1-s_1^2\, \eta_1} -s_1s_2 (1+\eta_1) -A = 0 \,.
\ee
This is a typical equation arising from the equilibrium and angular
conditions discussed earlier. Squaring twice one gets rid of the
radicals so that the resulting polynomial equation is linear and its
solution reads
\be\label{cott}
\eta_1 = \frac{1-(A+s_1 s_2)^2}{s_1^2 +s_2^2 +2s_1s_2(A+s_1s_2)} \,.
\ee
This is to be compared to~\eqref{cottilde}. In this way we find our
first condition on the angular parameters $s_1$ and $s_2$, namely
\begin{equation}\label{cond1}
\frac{1-\sigma^2}{s_1^2+s_2^2 -2 s_1s_2 \sigma} =
\frac{1-(A+s_1 s_2)^2}{s_1^2 +s_2^2 +2s_1s_2(A+s_1s_2)} \,.
\end{equation}
The most convenient way to analyze the above equation is to introduce
variables $u = s_1+s_2$ and $v = s_1 s_2$. The resulting equation is
cubic both in $u$ and $v$. It has three real roots and the simplest
one is given by
\be\label{512}
s_2 = 
\frac{\sigma +\cos\alpha w_2 +s_1 \sin\alpha w_2}{-s_1 +s_1 \cos\alpha w_2 -\sin\alpha w_2} \,.
\ee
It can be obtained by equating $A+v = -\sigma$.  Two other branches
contain non-trivial radicals and should be discarded as they generally
violate the property of $s_{1,2}$ having fixed sign. It is worth
noting that the zeros of the denominator in~\eqref{512} are given by
$s_1 = -\cot (\alpha w_2/2)$.


\paragraph{Second angular condition.}

Equation~\eqref{sc} can be cast into the form 
\be\label{secondeq}
e^{i\alpha w_3} = \frac{\big(\sqrt{1-s_3^2 \eta_2}-i s_3 \sqrt{1+\eta_2}\big) \big(\sqrt{1-\tilde s_1^2 \eta_2}-i \tilde s_1 \sqrt{1+\eta_2}\big) \big(\sqrt{1-s_1^2 \eta_1}-i s_1\sqrt{1+\eta_1}\big)}{(1-i s_3) \big(\sqrt{1-\tilde s_1^2 \eta_1}-i \tilde s_1\sqrt{1+\eta_1}\big) (1-i s_1)} \,.
\ee
As in the previous case we take its real part and find the following
relation
\be\label{cot2}
\eta_2 = \frac{1-(s_3 \tilde s_1+B)^2}{s_3^2+\tilde s_1^2 +2 s_3 \tilde s_1(B+s_3\tilde s_1)} \,,
\ee
where
\be\label{B}
B = \operatorname{Re} \bigg(e^{i\alpha w_3}(1-i s_1)(1-i s_3)
 \frac{\sqrt{1-\tilde s_1^2 \eta_1} -i\tilde s_1 \sqrt{1+\eta_1}}{\sqrt{1-s_1^2 \eta_1} -is_1 \sqrt{1+\eta_1}}\bigg) \,,
\ee
where $\eta_1$ is given by~\eqref{cott}. This is to be equated
to~\eqref{1tan}. In this way we obtain our second angular equation
\be\label{seqaneq}
\frac{1-(s_3 \tilde s_1+B)^2}{s_3^2+\tilde s_1^2 +2 s_3 \tilde s_1(B+s_3\tilde s_1)} = 
\frac{\tau^2}{s_3^2} \,.
\ee
This equation completely defines coordinate dependence of $s_1$.
Indeed, there are two independent momenta chosen to be $s_1$ and
$s_3$, while others are related to them through linear
conditions~\eqref{rels}. The first angular equation relates $s_1$ and
$s_2$ by virtue of~\eqref{512}. Therefore, the second angular equation
fixes $s_1 = s_1(w_2,w_3)$.

\label{sec:deformation}

Our goal is to find solutions to the second angular
equation~\eqref{seqaneq}. One possibility to solve this equation is to
get rid of all radicals. The resulting equation on $s_2$ is a higher
order polynomial equation and it is unlikely to be solved exactly. We
propose to use a perturbation procedure that helps to find solutions
to~\eqref{seqaneq}. We consider the \emph{five-line} configuration as
a deformation of the \emph{three-line} configuration corresponding to
the $4$-point conformal block. Below we recall the 4-pt
case~\cite{Hijano-ml-2015rla}.

In this case there are two light external fields with dimensions
$\epsilon_1$ and $\epsilon_2$ and one intermediate light field with
dimension $\tilde\epsilon_1$. The respective graph is depicted on
figure~\bref{3bulk}.

Here, the equilibrium and the angular equations read 
\begin{align}
\epsilon_1 \sqrt{1\!-\!s_1^2\,\eta} +\epsilon_2 \sqrt{1\!-\!s_2^2\,\eta} &= \tilde\epsilon_1 \,,
\qquad
\epsilon_1 s_1 -\epsilon_2 s_2 = 0 \,, \label{3verteq}\\
e^{i\alpha w_2} &=
\frac{\big(\sqrt{1\!-\!s_1^2\,\eta}-i s_1 \sqrt{1\!+\!\eta}\big) \big(\sqrt{1\!-\!s_2^2\,\eta}-i s_2 \sqrt{1\!+\!\eta}\big)}{(1-i s_1) (1-i s_2)} \,, \quad \label{3angeq}
\end{align}
where the radial coordinate of the vertex is 
\be
\eta = -\frac{\Pi(\epsilon_1, \epsilon_2, \tilde\epsilon_1)}{4\, \tilde\epsilon_1^2 \,\epsilon_1^2 \,s_1^2} \,,
\ee
and $\Pi(\epsilon_1, \epsilon_2, \tilde\epsilon_1)$ is the fusion
polynomial~\eqref{fusion}. We note that the radial coordinate is
\be\label{lem3}
\eta = \eta_2 [3 \rightarrow 1, \a \rightarrow 2, \b \rightarrow \a] \,.
\ee

In order to simplify the analysis we consider equal external
dimensions. Then, the solution to the above equations is
\be\label{3cases1}
\epsilon_1 = \epsilon_2 \,: \qquad
s_1 = s_2 = -\cot \theta_2 +\frac{\tilde\epsilon_1}{2\epsilon_1 \sin \theta_2} \,, \qquad
\theta_2 \equiv \frac{\alpha w_2}{2} \,.
\ee 

The total action in this case is 
$S_0 = 2\epsilon_1 S_1 +\tilde\epsilon_1 S_{\a}$. Using~\eqref{lambda}
and~\eqref{3cases1} we find
\be\label{56}
S_1 = -\ln \sin \theta_2 
+\ln \sqrt{1-\frac{\tilde\epsilon^2_1}{4\epsilon_1^2}}
-\ln 2\Lambda \,, \qquad
S_{\a} = \ln \tan \frac{\theta_2}{2} 
+\ln \sqrt{\frac{\epsilon_1 +\tilde\epsilon_1/2}{\epsilon_1 -\tilde\epsilon_1/2}} \,,
\ee
where $\Lambda \rightarrow \infty$ is the boundary regulator. We
observe that all conformal dimensions arise as additive contributions
and can therefore be neglected. This is why coordinate dependent terms
in~\eqref{56} coincide with those in~\eqref{rad} and~\eqref{arc}.
Modulo irrelevant coordinate independent terms the total action is
given by
\be\label{S0}
S_0(w_2) = -2\epsilon_1 \ln \sin \theta_2 +\tilde\epsilon_1 \ln\tan \frac{\theta_2}{2} \,.
\ee

<sec><title>Truncation to the 4-pt case</title>
<p><![CDATA[
\label{sec:truncation}

We choose one of the external fields (which is in the middle of the
pant decomposition) to be an identity operator, while intermediate
fields of the corresponding vertex get equal dimensions. The vertex
disappears while $n$-pt block goes to $(n-1)$-pt block. If the
identity external field is chosen to be on the edge of the block then
one should equate dimensions of one intermediate and one external
field of the corresponding vertex.

Let us see how it works in the bulk analysis. We consider the vertex
equations and set conformal dimensions of various external fields to
zero. The angular equations get corresponding modification. There are
three types of truncation.


\paragraph{\boldmath The $\epsilon_3 = 0$ case.}

This configuration corresponds to 4-pt conformal block provided that
external dimensions are equal to each other, 
$\tilde\epsilon_1 = \tilde\epsilon_2$.  The vertex
equations~\eqref{rels},~\eqref{vertcoord11} and~\eqref{vertcoord21}
can be written as
\be\label{chet}
\epsilon_3 \sqrt{1 -s_3^2 \eta_2} 
+\tilde\epsilon_1 \sqrt{1-\tilde s_1^2 \eta_2} = \tilde\epsilon_1 \,, \qquad
\epsilon_3 s_3  -\tilde\epsilon_1 \tilde s_1 = 0 \,,
\ee
and
\be\label{subb}
\epsilon_1 \sqrt{1-s_1^2 \eta_1} +\epsilon_2 \sqrt{1-s_2^2 \eta_1} = 
\tilde\epsilon_1 \sqrt{1-\tilde s_1^2 \eta_1} \,, \qquad
\epsilon_1 s_1 -\epsilon_2 s_2 -\tilde\epsilon_1 \tilde s_1 = 0 \,.
\ee
Setting $\epsilon_3 = 0$ we reproduce the 4-pt
case~\cite{Hijano-ml-2015rla}. Equations~\eqref{chet} are satisfied
identically so that the vertex $\a -\b -3$ disappears. In this limit
the intermediate line $\a$ becomes radial, i.e., $\tilde s_1=0$, so
that using~\eqref{lem2} and~\eqref{lem3}, equations~\eqref{subb} are
reduced to~\eqref{3verteq}.
 

\paragraph{\boldmath The $\epsilon_2 = 0$ case.}

This configuration corresponds to the 4-pt conformal block with
$\tilde\epsilon_1 = \epsilon_1$. In this case, the vertex equations
can be cast into the form
\be
\epsilon_3 \sqrt{1-s_3^2 \eta_2} 
+\epsilon_1 \sqrt{1-\tilde s_1^2 \eta_2} = \tilde\epsilon_2 \,, \qquad
\epsilon_3 s_3 -\epsilon_1 \tilde s_1 = 0 \,,
\ee
and
\be
\epsilon_1 \sqrt{1-s_1^2 \eta_1} 
+\epsilon_2 \sqrt{1-s_2^2 \eta_1} = 
\epsilon_1\sqrt{1-\tilde s_1^2 \eta_1} \,, \qquad
\epsilon_1 s_1 -\epsilon_2 s_2 -\epsilon_1 \tilde s_1 = 0 \,.
\ee
For $\epsilon_2 = 0$ the second pair of equations trivializes, while
the first one goes to that of the 4-pt case provided $\tilde s_1 = 0$.


\paragraph{\boldmath The $\epsilon_1 = 0$ case.}

This configuration does not correspond to 4-pt conformal block because
the equilibrium equation $\tilde\epsilon_1 \tilde s_1 + \epsilon_2 s_2 = 0$
has no admissible solutions: all $s_I \geq 0$ so that the only
solution here is $\tilde s_1 = s_2 = 0$ that corresponds to merging of
the lines $\a$ and $2$ into single radial line. Therefore, the
configuration depicted on figure~\bref{3bulk} can not be
reproduced. To have a correct graph of the 4-pt conformal block we
need to modify the initial configuration by changing the slope of line~2.

<sec><title>Five-line configuration as a deformation</title>
<p><![CDATA[

A five-line configuration can be considered as a deformation of the
three-line configuration with respect to one of the external conformal
dimensions. In what follows, we explicitly consider the case where
$\epsilon_3$ is the deformation parameter and other conformal
dimensions~are
\be
\tilde\epsilon_1 = \tilde\epsilon_2 \,, \qquad
\epsilon_1 = \epsilon_2 \,.
\ee
The first condition here is required for consistency of the
truncation. The second condition is imposed to simplify our
consideration.\footnote{The same constraints have been used in the
  boundary computations~\eqref{PPPP}.} Since two heavy operators
produce the background and other operators are light, the operator
associated to line $3$ should be considered as superlight. In other
words, the true deformation parameter is
\be
\nu = \frac{\epsilon_3}{\tilde\epsilon_1} \,.
\ee

The deformation of the three-line configuration depicted on 
figure~\bref{3bulk} can be visualized as the ``seed'' vertex attached
to the radial line $\a$. Pulling it out splits the radial line $\a$
into radial line $\b$ and curved line $\a$, and produces external line
$3$ as depicted in figure~\bref{35bulk}.

\end{figure}The lines of the resulting five-line configuration are characterized
by the deformed angular momenta
\be\label{expan}
s_I = b_I +\nu c_I +\cO(\nu^2) \,, \qquad 
I = 1,2,3,\a,\b \,,
\ee
where $b_I$ are the angular momenta of the seed three-line
configuration and $c_I$ are corrections. Note that $\tilde s_2=b_{\b} =0$
remain intact, and the seed line $\a$ is radial so that $b_{\a} = 0$.
By convention, $b_3$ is the seed momentum assigned to line $3$. The
total action reads
\be
S(w_2, w_3) = S_0(w_2) +\nu S_1(w_2,w_3) +\cO(\nu^2) \,,
\ee
where $S_0 = S_0(w_2)$ is the action of the three-line configuration,
while $S_1(w_2,w_3)$ is a correction. Note that a position of the
superlight field $w_3$ enters the action through the correction only.

The idea behind the perturbation method is to replace finding
solutions to higher order algebraic equations by solving linear
recurrence equations imposed on the corrections.  Using the
approximation~\eqref{expan} we expand the angular equations up to
linear terms in $\nu$ and find out that the seed solution satisfies
the original algebraic equation for $\nu =0$ while first order terms
are linear equations expressing the corrections through the seed
solution. Higher-order corrections are also subjected to linear
recurrence equations and can be directly found. Therefore, the most
complicated part of the problem is to find a seed solution which in
our case is explicitly known and corresponds to the 4-pt configuration
described in section~\bref{sec:three}.

\label{sec:pert}

Now we are going to identify the position of the seed vertex attached
to the radial line $\a$, see figure~\bref{35bulk}. To this end, we
consider $s_1$ and $s_3$ as independent angular momenta. From the
equilibrium equations~\eqref{chet} and~\eqref{subb} we find angular
positions of the vertices
\be\label{etas}
\eta_1 = \frac{1 -\varkappa^2/4}{s_1^2 +\nu^2 s_3^2 -\nu \varkappa s_1 s_3} \,, \qquad
\eta_2 = \frac{1 -\nu^2/4}{s_3^2} \,,
\ee
where $\varkappa = \tilde\epsilon_1/\epsilon_1$, cf.~\eqref{solution}
and~\eqref{1tan}.  We see that the the second vertex position can be
smoothly continued to $\nu=0$ to obtain the seed vertex $\eta_2 = 1/s_3^2$.

The seed vertex position can be used to find the corresponding seed
angular momenta values. Consider the angular equations~\eqref{firsteq}
and~\eqref{secondeq} for $\nu=0$. They can be cast into the form
\begin{align}
e^{i\alpha w_2/2} &=
\frac{\sqrt{1-s_1^2 \eta_1}-i s_1 \sqrt{1+\eta_1}}{1-i s_1} \,, \label{firsteq0}\\
e^{i\alpha (w_3 - w_2/2)} &=
\frac{\sqrt{1-s_3^2 \eta_2}-i s_3 \sqrt{1+\eta_2}}{1-i s_3} \,. \label{secondeq0}
\end{align}
Equation~\eqref{firsteq0} reproduces the angular equation of the
three-line case~\eqref{3angeq} provided $s_1= s_2$.
Equation~\eqref{secondeq0} is not seen in the three-line case and
appears because our angular equations do not follow from the original
action contrary to the equilibrium equations. It follows that for 
$\nu = 0$ there remains a residual angular equation~\eqref{secondeq0}
that helps to define the seed momentum $s_3$. From~\eqref{secondeq0}
we find
\be\label{ss3}
s_3 = -\cot(2\theta_3 -\theta_2) \,, \qquad 
\epsilon_3 = 0 \,,
\ee
where we introduced notation 
\be\label{thet}
\theta_k = \frac{\alpha w_k}{2} \,, \qquad
k = 1,2,3 \,.
\ee
Note that the seed momentum $s_3$ is not vanishing despite that
$\epsilon_3 = 0$. Geometrically, it means that we can add such a line
to the three-line graph but its weight in the total action is kept
zero. The deformation makes $\epsilon_3$ non-vanishing so that the
line starts to be seen.

Finally, using the three-line solution~\eqref{3cases1} and
notation~\eqref{expan} we write down all the seed angular momenta as
\be\label{sss}
b_1 = b_2 = -\cot \theta_2 +\frac{\varkappa}{ 2\sin \theta_2} \,, \qquad
b_3 = -\cot(2\theta_3 -\theta_2) \,, \qquad
b_{\a} = b_{\b} = 0 \,.
\ee

In what follows we consider the angular equations for $\nu\neq 0$ and
apply the perturbation expansion around the seed solution~\eqref{sss}.


\paragraph{Expansion of the angular equations.} 

Using notation~\eqref{thet} the real part of the angular
equation~\eqref{firsteq} for $\nu \neq 0$ is represented as
\be\label{eqeq}
\sqrt{1-s_1^2 \,\eta_1}\, \sqrt{1-s_2^2\, \eta_1} -s_1 s_2 (1+\eta_1) = 
(1-s_1 s_2) \cos 2\theta_2 +(s_1+s_2) \sin 2\theta_2 \,.
\ee 
Substituting~\eqref{etas},~\eqref{sss}, and~\eqref{expan} into
equation~\eqref{eqeq} and keeping first-order terms in the deformation
parameter $\nu$ we find that the original equation is reduced to the
following linear relation
\be\label{512light}
2 c_1 -\varkappa b_3 = 0 \,.
\ee
As expected, the same relation follows from the exact
solution~\eqref{512} which in the case under consideration takes the
form
\be
s_2 = -\cot \theta_2 
\bigg(1 -\half\, \frac{\varkappa^2}{\sin 2 \theta_2\,(s_1 +\cot \theta_2)}\bigg) \,.
\ee

Now, it is convenient to identically represent the second angular
equation~\eqref{secondeq} as
\begin{align}
& e^{2i\theta_3} (1\!-\!is_1) (1\!-\!is_3) 
\big(\sqrt{1\!-\!\nu^2 s_3^2 \eta_1} -i \nu s_3\sqrt{1\!+\!\eta_1}\big) = \notag\\
&\quad\ \big(\sqrt{1\!-\!s_3^2 \eta_2} -is_3 \sqrt{1\!+\!\eta_2}\big)
\big(\sqrt{1\!-\!\nu^2 s_3^2 \eta_2} -i \nu s_3 \sqrt{1\!+\!\eta_2}\big)
\big(\sqrt{1\!-\!s_1^2 \eta_1} -is_1 \sqrt{1\!+\!\eta_1}\big) \,.
\end{align}
Taking~\eqref{512light} into account we find that in the first order
approximation the real part of the above equation is a linear equation
on $c_3$ solved as
\be
c_3 = \frac{3 +\cos(2\theta_2 -4\theta_3) -2\cos(2\theta_2 -2\theta_3) -2\cos(2\theta_3)}{4\sin^3 (\theta_2-2\theta_3)} \,.
\ee


\paragraph{The deformed angular parameters.}

The first order solution to the 5-pt configuration reads
\begin{align}
s_1 &= -\cot \theta_2 +\frac{\varkappa}{2\sin \theta_2} 
-\frac{\nu \varkappa}{2} \cot(2\theta_3-\theta_2) +\cO(\nu^2) \,, \\
s_3 &= -\cot(2\theta_3 \!-\!\theta_2) 
+\nu \frac{\cos(2\theta_2 \!-\!4\theta_3) \!-\!2 \cos(2\theta_2 \!-\!2\theta_3) \!-\!2\cos 2\theta_3 \!+\!3}{4\sin^3(\theta_2\!-\!2\theta_3)} +\cO(\nu^2) \,, ~~
\end{align}
and
\be
s_2 = s_1 -\nu\varkappa s_3 \,, \qquad
\tilde s_1 = \nu s_3 \,, \qquad
\tilde s_2 = 0 \,.
\ee


\paragraph{The action.}

Finally, using representation~\eqref{lambda} we explicitly write down
the total action~\eqref{act5} as
\be\label{actionFULL1}
S(w_2, w_3) = \epsilon_1 S_1(w_2, w_3) +\epsilon_1 S_2(w_2, w_3)
+\epsilon_3 S_3(w_2, w_3) +\tilde\epsilon_1 S_{\a}(w_2, w_3)
+\tilde\epsilon_1 S_{\b}(w_2, w_3) \,,
\ee
where    
\begin{align}
S_1 &= 
-\ln \frac{\sqrt{\eta_1}}{\sqrt{1+\eta_1} +\sqrt{1-s_1^2\eta_1}} 
-\ln 2\Lambda \,, \label{L1}\\
S_2 &= 
-\ln \frac{\sqrt{\eta_1}}{\sqrt{1+\eta_1} +\sqrt{1-s_2^2\eta_1}} 
-\ln 2\Lambda \,, \label{L2}\\
S_{3} &= 
-\ln \frac{\sqrt{\eta_2}}{\sqrt{1+\eta_2} +\sqrt{1-s_3^2\eta_2}} 
-\ln 2\Lambda \,, \label{L3}\\
S_{\a} &= 
\ln \frac{\sqrt{\eta_1}}{\sqrt{1+\eta_1} +\sqrt{1-\nu^2 s_3^2\eta_1}}
-\ln \frac{\sqrt{\eta_2}}{\sqrt{1+\eta_2} +\sqrt{1-\nu^2 s_3^2\eta_2}} \,, \quad\label{La}\\
S_{\b} &= 
\ln \frac{\sqrt{\eta_2}}{1+\sqrt{1+\eta_2}} \,. \label{Lb}
\end{align}
Here, $\Lambda$ is the cutoff parameter, $\Lambda \rightarrow \infty$.
For $\nu = 0$ we note that $S_{\a}+S_{\b} = \ln \frac{\sqrt{\eta_1}}{1+\sqrt{1+\eta_1}}$
and this formula gives the length of the radial line~\eqref{rad}.
Also, for $\nu=0$ the action $S_3$ does not contribute to the total
action, while $S_1 = S_2$ and $2S_1$ gives the length of the arc,
cf.~\eqref{arc}. We conclude that for $\nu=0$ the
action~\eqref{actionFULL1} is identified with the 4-pt case
action~\eqref{S0}.

In the first order in $\nu$ the above actions are given by
\begin{align}
S_1 &= 
-\ln \sin\theta_2 +\nu \cot(\theta_2 -2 \theta_3) 
+\ln \sqrt{1-\frac{\tilde\epsilon^2_1}{4\epsilon_1^2}}
-\ln 2\Lambda +\cO(\nu^2) \,, \\
S_2 &= 
-\ln \sin\theta_2 -\nu \cot(\theta_2 -2 \theta_3) 
+\ln \sqrt{1 -\frac{\tilde\epsilon^2_1}{4\epsilon_1^2}}
-\ln 2\Lambda +\cO(\nu^2) \,, \\
S_{3} &= 
-\ln \sin(2 \theta_3-\theta_2) -\ln 2\Lambda +\cO(\nu) \,, \\
S_{\a} &= 
\ln \tan\frac{\theta_2}{2} -\ln \tan(2 \theta_3-\theta_2) 
+\ln \sqrt{\frac{\epsilon_1 +\tilde\epsilon_1/2}{\epsilon_1 -\tilde\epsilon_1/2}} \notag\\
&\quad +\nu\, \frac{\cos(2\theta_2 -4\theta_3) -2 \cos(2\theta_2 -2\theta_3) -2\cos2\theta_3 +3}{4 \sin^2(\theta_2 -2\theta_3)} +\cO(\nu^2) \,, \\
S_{\b} &= \ln\tan(2 \theta_3-\theta_2) \notag\\
&\quad -\nu\, \frac{\cos(2\theta_2 -4\theta_3) -2 \cos(2\theta_2 -2\theta_3) -2\cos2\theta_3 +3}{4 \sin^2(\theta_2 -2\theta_3)} +\cO(\nu^2) \,.
\end{align}
Note that in the first order the actions $S_{1,2}$ and $S_{\a,\b}$ get
corrections, while their sums $S_1 +S_2$ and $S_{\a}+S_{\b}$ remain
intact. The regulator $\Lambda$ appears for the external lines only.

Modulo coordinate independent terms we arrive at the following total
action
\be\label{finact}
S(w_2, w_3) = -2 \epsilon_1 \ln \sin\theta_2 
+\tilde\epsilon_1 \ln \tan\frac{\theta_2}{2}
-\epsilon_3 \ln \sin(2 \theta_3-\theta_2) +\cO(\nu^2) \,. 
\ee
The zeroth order part obviously coincides with the three-line
action~\eqref{S0}. It is parameterized by the variable $\theta_2$,
while the first order correction depends on coordinates $w_{2,3}$
through the combination $2\theta_3 -\theta_2$ only.  Note that the
resulting action~\eqref{finact} has no pole $1/\tilde\epsilon_1$ while
it appears in higher order terms, cf.~\eqref{5ptdec1}.

According to the general prescription~\eqref{block-action}, the
action~\eqref{finact} is related to the conformal block as
\be
f_{\delta}(q_1,q_2) \sim -S(\theta_1,\theta_2) \,,
\ee
where the first terms of the conformal block on the plane are given
in~\eqref{finblock1} and~\eqref{finblock2}. The identification is
achieved (up to irrelevant coordinate-independent constants which can
be absorbed in the integration constants and also taking into account
standard conformal block prefactor which is not assumed to
exponentiate) by the following conformal transformations to the plane
\be
\theta_2 = \frac{i\alpha}{2} \ln (1-q_1 q_2) \,, \qquad 
\theta_3 = \frac{i\alpha}{2}\ln(1-q_2) \,.
\ee
The perturbation procedure which allows to evaluate the bulk
configuration~\eqref{finact} together with its boundary counterpart
computation of the dual classical conformal block~\eqref{finblock1}
and~\eqref{finblock2} represent the main result of this paper. In the
next section we discuss its possible generalization to the $n$-point
case.

\label{sec:multi}

The $n=5$ analysis in the previous sections shows the way it
generalizes to the $n$-point case. According the graph in
figure~\bref{bulk} we discuss a multi-line configuration with $n-2$
external legs using the following notation and conventions.
\begin{itemize}
\item There are $n-2$ external lines with index $i = 1, 2, \ldots, n-2$
  provided that lines $1$ and $2$ are on the rightmost edge of the
  graph. There are $n-3$ intermediate lines with index
  $\tilde{1}, \2, \ldots, \tilde{n-3}$ provided that
  $(\tilde{n-3})$-th line is identified with the radial line ending in
  the singularity. Both external and intermediate lines are enumerated
  by the collective index $I = 1, \ldots, n-2, \1, \ldots, \tilde{n-3}$.

\item There are $n-3$ vertices with radial positions denoted
  $\eta_{i} = \cot^2 \rho_{i}$, where $i = 1, \ldots,$ $n-3$.

\item $i$-th vertex with $i = 2, \ldots, n-4$ has three incoming
  lines: one external line $i+1$, two intermediate lines $\tilde{i-1}$
  and $\tilde{i+1}$. The $i=1$ vertex has three incoming lines: two
  external lines $1$ and $2$, one intermediate line $\1$. The $i=n-3$
  vertex has three incoming lines: one external line $n-2$, two
  intermediate lines $\tilde{n-4}$ and $\tilde{n-3}$.
\end{itemize}
Consider first the equilibrium conditions for any three fields
\begin{align}
\epsilon_K \sqrt{1-s_K^2 \eta} +\epsilon_I\sqrt{1-s_I^2 \eta} &= 
\epsilon_J \sqrt{1-s_J^2 \eta} \,, \label{eqcondi}\\
\epsilon_I s_I +\epsilon_J s_J -\epsilon_K s_K &= 0 \,, \label{gens}
\end{align}
where $I\neq J\neq K$. Using the fusion polynomials~\eqref{fusion} the
general solution to equations~\eqref{eqcondi} and~\eqref{gens} is
given by
\be\label{etai}
\eta = \frac{\Pi(\epsilon_K, \epsilon_I, \epsilon_J)}{4\epsilon_I \epsilon_K \big(s_I s_K (\epsilon_I^2 +\epsilon_K^2 -\epsilon_J^2) -\epsilon_I \epsilon_K (s_I^2 +s_K^2)\big)} \,,
\ee
cf.~\eqref{cottilde}. As there are vertices of three different types,
the particular values of indices should be properly taken into
account. It follows that there are two outmost positions $\eta_1$ with
$I=2, J=\1, K=1$ and $\eta_{n-3}$ with $I = n-2$, $J = \tilde{n-3}$,
$K = \tilde{n-4}$, along with intermediate positions $\eta_{i}$,
$i=2, \ldots, n-4$, with $I = i+1$, $J =\tilde i$, $K = \tilde{i-1}$.

Explicit form of equations~\eqref{gens} is given by 
\begin{align}
\tilde s_{{n-3}} &= 0 \,,
&\epsilon_{2} s_{2} +\tilde \epsilon_{{1}}\tilde s_{{1}} 
-\epsilon_{1} s_{1} &= 0 \,, \label{linrelss}\\
\epsilon_{i} s_{i} +\tilde \epsilon_{i-1}\tilde s_{i-1} 
-\tilde \epsilon_{i-2}\tilde s_{i-2} &= 0 \,,
&i &= 3, \ldots, n-2 \,.
\end{align}

Now, consider the angular separations of each geodesic segment. Let
$\Delta \phi_i$ be an angular separation of the $i$-th external line
and $\Delta \tilde \phi_{i}$ be an angular separation of the
intermediate line $\tilde i$. Introducing angular positions of the
vertices $\psi_{i}$ with $i = 1, \ldots, n-3$ we define ($w_1 =0$)
\begin{align}
\Delta\phi_1 &= \psi_1 \,,
&\Delta \phi_i &= w_i -\psi_{i-1} \,,
&i &= 2, \ldots, n-2 \,, \\
\Delta \tilde\phi_{{n-3}} &= 0 \,,
&\Delta \tilde\phi_{i} &= \psi_{{i+1}} -\psi_{i} \,,
&i &= 1, \ldots, n-4 \,. \quad
\end{align}
In particular, assuming that $\psi_{i}< w_{i+1}$ one finds the angular
equation system
\be\label{angeqGEN}
\Delta\phi_i +\Delta \tilde\phi_{{i-2}} +\Delta \tilde\phi_{{i-3}} +\ldots 
+\Delta \tilde\phi_{1} +\Delta\phi_1 = w_{i} \,, \qquad
i = 2, \ldots, n-2 \,.
\ee
In total, there are $n-3$ angular equations that exactly matches the
number of boundary attachments minus one. Depending on the particular
vertex there are three types of the angular separations entering
equation~\eqref{angeqGEN}. Using~\eqref{log} we find
\begin{align}
i\alpha \Delta\phi_1 &=
\ln \frac{\sqrt{1-s_1^2 \eta_1} -i s_1 \sqrt{1+\eta_1}}{1-i s_1} \,, && \\
i\alpha \Delta\phi_k &=
\ln \frac{\sqrt{1-s_k^2 \eta_{k-1}} -i s_k \sqrt{1+\eta_{k-1}}}{1-i s_k} \,,
&k &= 2, \ldots, n-2 \,, \\
i\alpha \Delta \tilde\phi_{k} &=
\ln \frac{\sqrt{1-\tilde s_{k}^2\, \eta_{k+1}} -i \tilde s_{k} \,\sqrt{1+\eta_{k+1}}}{\sqrt{1-\tilde s_{k}^2\, \eta_{k}} -i \tilde s_{k} \,\sqrt{1+\eta_{k}}} \,,
&k &= 2, \ldots, n-3 \,.
\end{align}
From the above relations we compose the following system of $n-3$
irrational equations
\par\vskip-\baselineskip
{\small\be\label{angeqFant}
e^{2i\theta_k} = 
\frac{\sqrt{1\!-\!s_1^2 \eta_1} \!-\!i s_1 \sqrt{1\!+\!\eta_1}}{1\!-\!i s_1}
\frac{\sqrt{1\!-\!s_k^2 \eta_{k-1}} \!-\!i s_k \sqrt{1\!+\!\eta_{k-1}}}{1\!-\!i s_k}
\prod_{m=1}^{k-2} \frac{\sqrt{1\!-\!\tilde s_{m}^2\, \eta_{m+1}} \!-\!i \tilde s_{m} \sqrt{1\!+\!\eta_{m+1}}}{\sqrt{1\!-\!\tilde s_{m}^2\, \eta_{m}} \!-\!i \tilde s_{m} \sqrt{1\!+\!\eta_{m}}} \,,
\ee}where $k = 2, \ldots, n-2$, and $\theta_k = \alpha w_k/2$.

The solution to the angular equation system~\eqref{angeqFant} is given
by $n-3$ momenta, say, external parameters $s_i$ for $i = 1,2, \ldots, n-3$,
expressed as functions of all boundary attachments 
$s_i = s_i(w_2,\ldots ,w_{n-2})$. All other angular parameters are
restored via linear relations~\eqref{linrelss}. Indeed, there are
$n-2$ equations~\eqref{linrelss} and their number is equal to the
number of vertices. They fix $n-2$ angular parameters in terms of
others $n-3$ determined by the angular equations. Therefore, all
angular momenta are fixed in terms of $n-3$ boundary attachments
$w_i$.

Finally, using explicit expressions for all $s_I=s_I(w)$ and 
$\eta_i = \eta_i(w) $ one finds the weighted length of the multi-line
graph
\begin{align}\label{actFant}
\!\!\! S(w_2, \ldots, w_{n-2}) &= 
-\epsilon_1 \ln \frac{\sqrt{\eta_1}}{\sqrt{1\!+\!\eta_1} +\!\sqrt{1\!-\!s_1^2 \eta_1}} 
-\!\sum_{i=1}^{n-3} \epsilon_{i+1} 
\ln \frac{\sqrt{\eta_{i}}}{\sqrt{1\!+\!\eta_{i}} +\!\sqrt{1\!-\!s_{i+1}^2 \eta_{i}}} \notag\\
&\quad +\!\sum_{i=1}^{n-3} \tilde\epsilon_i 
\Bigg[\ln \frac{\sqrt{\eta_i}}{\sqrt{1\!+\!\eta_i} +\!\sqrt{1\!-\!\tilde s_{i}^2\eta_i}}
-\ln \frac{\sqrt{\eta_{i+1}}}{\sqrt{1\!+\!\eta_{i+1}} +\!\sqrt{1\!-\!\tilde s_{i}^2\eta_{i+1}}}\Bigg] \,, ~~
\end{align}
where each component is given by formula~\eqref{lambda}. Also, we
neglected all the regulator terms $\ln 2\Lambda$. Mapping attachment
points on the cylinder into the corresponding points of the sphere
$z_i = z_i(w_k)$ and using projective coordinates $q_i = q_i(z_j)$,
where $i,j,k = 1, \ldots, n-3$ the resulting action is to be identified
with the $n$-point heavy-light conformal block associated
to~\eqref{FF} according to the general formula~\eqref{block-action}.

It is worth noting that the total action~\eqref{actFant} contains the
same radicals as the angular equations~\eqref{angeqFant} as well as
the equilibrium equation~\eqref{eqcondi}. Moreover, the $n=5$ case
shows that the expressions for angular momenta and separate actions
can be rather complicated while the total action is simple enough. It
suggests that solving the angular equations explicitly is not needed
because their constituents can be used directly in the total action.

\label{sec:conclusion}

In this paper we have analyzed the AdS/CFT correspondence between
$n$-point heavy-light classical conformal blocks on the boundary and
classical worldline actions described by a graph with $n$ worldlines
embedded in the bulk. We have proposed the general identification
between the pant decomposition on the boundary and the corresponding
multi-line graph in the bulk. In particular, we have written down the
general system of equations describing the dynamics of probes in the
bulk background. On the boundary side, the classical conformal blocks
are conveniently analyzed using the AGT combinatorial representation.

We have performed explicit computations in the $n=5$ case establishing
the correspondence in the first order in the conformal dimension of
one of fields while keeping other dimensions arbitrary.  It exactly
corresponds to deforming the four-point classical conformal block by
adding a superlight external field to yield the five-point classical
conformal block. The same perturbative procedure is employed in the
bulk where we start with the corresponding four-line worldline
configuration while one external line and one intermediate line are
produced in the course of the deformation.

It would be interesting to find an exact solution to $n=5$ equations
in the bulk and further compare with the boundary computations beyond
the perturbation theory. More generally, one can analyze the $n$-point
equation system that we proposed in section~\bref{sec:multi} and
describe perturbative or exact solutions.  Also, it is natural to
study $n$-point heavy-light classical blocks with any number of heavy
fields and elaborate on their bulk interpretation.
