Abstract: (Elsevier)
We consider the AGT relation (Alday et al., 2009 [1] ), expressing conformal blocks for the Virasoro and W -algebras in terms of Nekrasov's special functions, in the simplest case of the 4-point functions for the first non-trivial W 3 algebra. The standard set of Nekrasov functions is sufficient only if additional null-vector restriction is imposed on a half of the external W -primaries and this is just the case when the conformal blocks are fully dictated by W -symmetry and do not depend on a particular model. Explicit checks confirm that the AGT relation survives in this restricted case, as expected.
