Description

In this short note using AGT correspondence we express the simplest fully degenerate primary fields of Toda field theory in terms of an analogue of Baxter's Q-operator naturally emerging on the N=2 gauge theory side. This quantity can be considered as a generating function of certain chiral operators constructed from the scalars of the N=2 vector multiplets. In the special case of Liouville theory, exploring the second order differential equation satisfied by conformal blocks including a primary field which is degenerate at the second level (BPZ equation) we derive a mixed difference-differential relation for Q-operator. Thus we generalize the T-Q difference equation known in Nekrasov-Shatashvili limit of the Ω-background to the generic case.
