Proof of the AGT Conjecture at Generic $β$

Abstract

We give an all-level proof of the four-point $SU(2)$ AGT correspondence with four fundamental hypermultiplets at generic $β=-ε_1/ε_2$, by proving an all-level factorization formula for Selberg averages of generalized Jack polynomials. Taking a coefficientwise Jack limit of the generalized Macdonald Pieri rule, we obtain the required one-box matrix elements in the strict Cauchy dual basis. A rational corner-function identity then evaluates the sum over all parent double partitions, while an explicit total derivative of the Selberg kernel yields a triangular recursion on the Dotsenko-Fateev charge balance hyperplane. The unique solution of this recursion is the generalized Kadell formula previously verified only through finite level. Combining this result with the generalized Cauchy identity identifies each double partition term with the corresponding Nekrasov fixed-point contribution.
