Abstract
We compute the exact retarded Green’s functions in thermal CFTs with chemical potential and angular momenta using holography respectively. We consider the field equations satisfied by the quasi-normal modes in both charged and rotating black holes in AdS spacetime and mapped them to the Heun equations by appropriate changes of variables. The AGT correspondence allows us to find the connection formulae among the solutions of the Heun equations near different singularities by using the crossing relations of the five-point correlators in the Liouville CFT. The connection formulae associated with the boundary conditions imposed on the bulk field equations yield the exact thermal correlators in the boundary CFT.
