The Euler anomaly and scale factors in Liouville/Toda CFTs


الملخص بالإنكليزية

The role played by the Euler anomaly in the dictionary relating sphere partition functions of four dimensional theories of class $mathcal{S}$ and two dimensional nonrational CFTs is clarified. On the two dimensional side, this involves a careful treatment of scale factors in Liouville/Toda correlators. Using ideas from tinkertoy constructions for Gaiotto duality, a framework is proposed for evaluating these scale factors. The representation theory of Weyl groups plays a critical role in this framework.
