The representation theory of 2d CFTs is naturally linked to 3D topological quantum field theories. This connection makes it natural to ask whether tensor integrals constructed from approximate CFT data have a three-dimensional interpretation. In this talk, I will construct a convergent, finite-dimensional tensor integral using the crossing equations of the diagonal SU(2) Wess–Zumino–Witten...
