This expansion looks asτIM (q) =X(0q)(1∞)e(b,w) Cw(θ 0 , θ q , a, µ0q , ν0q )Cw(θ 1 , θ ∞ , a, µ1∞ , ν1∞ )×(5.88)w∈Q(slN )×q1(σ 0t +w,σ 0t +w)− 21 (θ 0 ,θ 0 )− 21 (θ t ,θ t )2Bw ({θ i }, a, µ0q , ν0q , µ1∞ , ν1∞ ; q)and can be tested, both numerically and exactly for some degenerate values of theW-charges θ of the fields [Gav, GavIL].
In (5.88) the normalization of conformal(•)block Bw (•; q) is chosen to be Bw (•; q) = 1 + O(q) and Cw (•) as usually denote thecorresponding 3-point structure constants (all these quantities in the case of W (slN ) =WN blocks with N > 2 depend on extra parameters {µ, ν}, being the coordinates onthe moduli space of flat connections on 3-punctured sphere, and for their genericvalues the conformal blocks Bw (•; q) are not defined algebraically, see [Gav] for moredetails).3This relation has been predicted in [Knizhnik], see also [Nov] for a slightly different observationof the same kind.1405.6.
ExamplesWe now conjecture that such decomposition exists also for conformal blocks considered above. Moreover, then a natural guess is, that the structure constants havesuch a form that111(0q)(1∞)Cw(θ 0 , θ q , a, µ0q , ν0q )Cw(θ 1 , θ ∞ , a, µ1∞ , ν1∞ )q 2 (a+w,a+w)− 2 (θ0 ,θ0 )− 2 (θq ,θq ) ··Bw ({θ i }, a, µ0q , ν0q , µ1∞ , ν1∞ ; q) = G0 ({θ i }, a + w; q)(5.89)i.e.
they are absorbed into our definition of the W-block of the twist fields, and thiscan be extended from four to arbitrary number of even 2L points on sphere. Thisconjecture can be easily checked in the N = 2 case, where the structure constantsfor the values, corresponding to the Picard solution [GIL12, ILTe], coincide exactlywith given by degenerate period matrices in (5.87), when applied to the case of theZamolodchikov conformal blocks [GMqui] (see sect. 5.6 and Appendix 5.10).It means that in order to get isomonodromic τ -functions from the exact conformalblocks (5.87) one has just to sum up the series (for the arbitrary number of points onehas to replace the root lattice of Q(slN ) = ZN −1 by the lattice Zg , where g = g(C) isthe genus of the cover)XτIM (q|a, b) =G0 (q|a + n)e(n,b) = τB (q) exp 21 Q(r) ×n∈ZgX×n∈Zgexp1(a + n, T (a + n)) + (U , a + n) + (b, n)2 a1= τB (q) exp 2 Q(r) Θ(U )b=(5.90)which is easily expressed through the theta-function.
One gets in this way exactly theKorotkin isomonodromic τ -function, where the only difference of this expression withproposed in [K04, formula 6.10] is in the term Q(r), which is not expressed globallythrough the coordinates of the branch points in the case of non-abelian monodromygroup. This fact supports both our conjectures: about the form of the structureconstants, and about the general correspondence between the isomonodromic deformations and conformal field theory.Formula (5.90) has also clear meaning in the context of gauge theory/topologicalstring correspondence.
It has been noticed yet in [NO], that the CFT free fermionrepresentation exists only for the dual partition function, which is obtained from thegauge-theory matrix element (conformal block) by a Fourier transform 4 . We plan toreturn to this issue separately in the context of the free fermion representation for theexact W-conformal blocks.ExamplesThere are several well-known examples of the conformal blocks corresponding toAbelian monodromy groups. All of them basically come from the Zamolodchikov4The fact, that only the Fourier-Legendre transformed quantity can be identified with partitionfunction in string theory has been established recently in quite general context from their transformation properties in [CWM].1415.

Parametersr are absent here, so the result is justPG0 (q) = τB (q) exp 12 aI TIJ (q)aJ , where for the hyperelliptic period matricesIJone gets from (5.59) the well-known Rauch formulas (see e.g. [GMqui] and referencestherein).When the hyperelliptic curve degenerates (see Appendix 5.10), this formula gives−G0 (q) ≈ 4PPa2I −( aI )2gYa2I − 18(q2I − q2I−1 )I=1≈ 4−Pa2I −(P2aI )·gY(q2I − q2J )2aI aJ R−(I>JgYP2a2 − 1I I 8 R−( aI )I=1·gYPaI )2≈(5.92)(q2I − q2J )2aI aJI>JHere in the r.h.s. the second factor comes from the OPE (5.7), i.e. O(q2I −I )O(q2I ) ∼Qa2 − 1I I 8 VaI (q2I ) + .
. ., while the third one is just the correlator h VaI (q2I )i. Hence, thefirst most important factor corresponds to the non-trivial product of the structureconstants in (5.89), which acquires here a very simple form. The main point of thisobservation is that normalization of (5.87) automatically contains not only q # factors,but also the structure constants, and we have already exploited such conjecture forgeneral situation in sect. 5.5, since the argument with degenerate tau-function can beeasily extended.These observations have an obvious generalization for the ZN -curvesNy =2LY(z − qα )kα(5.93)α=1with the same projection π : (y, z) 7→ z.
The main contribution to the answerPτSW = exp 21 aI TIJ (q)aJ comes just from a general reasoning as in sect. 6.4IJand to make it more explicit one can use the Rauch formulas for ZN -curves, whichexpress everything in terms of the coordinates {q} on the projection, since there is nosumming over preimages in formulas like (5.59).Let us now turn to an elementary new example with non-abelian monodromygroup. Notice, first, that a simple genus g(C) = 0 curvey 3 = x2 (1 − x)(5.94)gives rise to the curve with non-abelian monodromy group if one takes a different(from Z3 -option πx : (y, x) 7→ x) projection πy : (y, x) 7→ y. For the curve C, whichis just a sphere or P1 itself, one gets here two essentially different (and unrelated!)setups, corresponding to differently chosen functions x or y.1425.6.

Notice thatisomonodromic function (5.103) looks very similar to the tau-functions of algebraicsolutions of the Painlevé VI equation [GIL12, examples 5-7], but depends on essentially more parameters.An interesting, but yet unclear observation is that in this example τB (t) itself canbe represented as1Q(r̃)(5.105)τB (t) = exp2for several particular choices of parameters r̃, e.g.√√√77i7(r̃0 , r̃q , r̃1 , r̃∞ ) = ( √ , − √ , √ , √ )12 3 12 3 4 3 12 3√iii5(r̃0 , r̃q , r̃1 , r̃∞ ) = ( √ , √ , √ ,)12 3 12 3 12 3 12(5.106)whereas all other (altogetherare√obtained after the action of the√ eight) √solutions√Galois group generated by 3 7→ − 3, 5 7→ − 5 and i 7→ −i.
