Perturbative classical conformal blocks as Steiner trees on the hyperbolic disk

Abstract We consider the Steiner tree problem in hyperbolic geometry in the context of the AdS/CFT duality between large-c conformal blocks on the boundary and particle motions in the bulk. The Steiner trees are weighted graphs on the Poincare disk with a number of endpoints and trivalent vertices c...
