Torus shadow formalism and exact global conformal blocks

Abstract

Using the shadow formalism we find global conformal blocks of torus CFT2. It is shown that n-point torus blocks in the ``necklace'' channel (a loop with n legs) are expressed in terms of a hypergeometric-type function which we refer to as the necklace function.
