%0 Journal Article %J JHEP 09(2011)096 %D 2011 %T The Liouville side of the vortex %A Giulio Bonelli %A Alessandro Tanzini %A Jian Zhao %X We analyze conformal blocks with multiple (semi-)degenerate field insertions in Liouville/Toda conformal field theories an show that their vector space is fully reproduced by the four-dimensional limit of open topological string amplitudes on the strip with generic boundary conditions associated to a suitable quiver gauge theory. As a byproduct we identify the non-abelian vortex partition function with a specific fusion channel of degenerate conformal blocks. %B JHEP 09(2011)096 %I SISSA %G en %U http://hdl.handle.net/1963/4304 %1 4019 %2 Physics %3 Elementary Particle Theory %4 -1 %$ Submitted by Maria Pia Calandra (calapia@sissa.it) on 2011-09-27T09:53:04Z\\r\\nNo. of bitstreams: 1\\r\\n1107.2787v1.pdf: 990433 bytes, checksum: 1dc28192f585097bc1e32987afd97aa7 (MD5) %R 10.1007/JHEP09(2011)096
