[email protected] Abstract: We study conformal twist field four-point functions on a ZN orbifold. We examine in detail the case N = 3 and analyze theories obtained by replicated N-times a minimal model with central charge c < 1. A fastly convergent expansion of the twist field correlation function in terms of sphere conformal blocks with central charge Nc is obtained by exploiting covering map techniques. We discuss extensive applications of the formalism to the entanglement of two disjoint intervals in CFT, in particular we propose a conformal block expansion for the partially transposed reduced density matrix. Finally, we refine the bounds on the structure constants of unitary CFTs determined previously by the genus two modular bootstrap. arXiv:2107.13925v1 [hep-th] 29 Jul 2021 Contents 1 Introduction1 2 CFT Partition Functions on ZN -symmetric Riemann Surfaces3 3 Orbifold Conformal Blocks5 3.1 The Computation of the Orbifold Three-point Functions7 3.2 Case N = 2: The Torus7 3.3 Case N = 3: Z3-symmetric
