摘要
We study the classical c -> infinity limit of the Virasoro conformal blocks. We point out that the classical limit of the simplest nontrivial null-vector decoupling equation on a sphere leads to the Painleve VI equation. This gives the explicit representation of generic four-point classical conformal block in terms of the regularized action evaluated on certain solution of the Painleve VI equation. As a simple consequence, the monodromy problem of the Heun equation is related to the connection problem for the Painleve VI.
