Late time Wilson lines

In the AdS₃/CFT₂ correspondence, physical interest attaches to understanding Virasoro conformal blocks at large central charge and in a kinematical regime of large Lorentzian time separation, t ∼ c. However, almost no analytical information about this regime is presently available. By employing the Wilson line representation we derive new results on conformal blocks at late times, effectively resumming all dependence on t/c. This is achieved in the context of "light-light" blocks, as opposed to the richer, but much less tractable, "heavy-light" blocks. The results exhibit an initial decay, followed by erratic behavior and recurrences. We also connect this result to gravitational contributions to anomalous dimensions of double trace operators by using the Lorentzian inversion formula to extract the latter. Inverting the stress tensor block provides a pedagogical example of inversion formula machinery.
