Abstract
In this work, we initiate an integrability-based approach to multipoint conformal blocks for higher-dimensional conformal field theories. Our main observation is that conformal blocks for -point functions may be considered as eigenfunctions of integrable Gaudin Hamiltonians. This provides us with a complete set of differential equations that can be used to evaluate multipoint blocks.
