Title: Flat Connections from Irregular Conformal Blocks

Abstract: : I will talk about Liouville conformal blocks with degenerate primaries and one operator in an irregular representation of the 
Virasoro algebra. Using an algebraic approach, we derive modified BPZ equations satisfied by such blocks and subsequently 
construct corresponding integral representations based on integration over non-compact Lefschetz cycles. The integral representations are then used to derive novel 
types of flat connections on the irregular conformal block bundle
