We construct modular linear differential equations (MLDEs) with respect to subgroups of the modular group, which have solutions that are Virasoro conformal blocks appearing in the expansion of a crossing symmetric 4-point correlator on the sphere. The connection between crossing transformations and modular transformations is used. We specifically focus on second order MLDEs with identical and pairwise identical operators in the correlator. The central charge, dimensions of the operators, and those of the intermediate ones are expressed in terms of parameters occurring in such MLDEs.
We construct modular linear differential equations (MLDEs) w.r.t. subgroups of the modular group whose solutions are Virasoro conformal blocks appearing in the expansion of a crossing symmetric 4-point correlator on the sphere. This uses a connection between crossing transformations and modular transformations. We focus specifically on second order MLDEs with the cases of all identical and pairwise identical operators in the correlator. The central charge, the dimensions of the above operators and those of the intermediate ones are expressed in terms of parameters that occur in such MLDEs. In doing so, the q-expansions of the solutions to the MLDEs are compared with those of Virasoro blocks; hence, Zamolodchikov's elliptic recursion formula provides an important input. Using the actions of respective subgroups, bootstrap equations involving the associated 3-point coefficients have been set up and solved as well in terms of the MLDE parameters. We present explicit examples of MLDEs corresponding to BPZ and novel non-BPZ equations, as well as unitary and non-unitary CFTs.
