Description

We explore a novel aproach towards the analytical computation of higher-point conformal blocks. The method of interest, which we call oscillator formalism, proves to be very efficient in two dimensions. In particular, the known result for the general $n$-point block in the comb channel can be rederived in a straight-forward manner. But also torus conformal blocks can be obtaind from this method. Moreover, we discuss generalizations for CFTs in higher dimensions.
