Exact Virasoro blocks from Wilson lines and background-independent operators

Abstract Aspects of black hole thermodynamics and information loss can be derived as a consequence of Virasoro symmetry. To bolster the connection between Virasoro conformal blocks and AdS3 quantum gravity, we study sl(2) Chern-Simons Wilson line networks and revisit the idea that they compute a var...
