  "abstract": "We establish a correspondence between conformal partial waves on flat, thermal, and defect backgrounds using the shadow formalism. We demonstrate that scalar one-point thermal blocks can be systematically obtained from their four-point flat-space and two-point defect counterparts by considering specific operator configurations. This framework allows us to derive the thermal Casimir equation as a diagonal reduction of the flat-space Casimir system without introducing chemical potentials. We further show that defect two-point blocks with a spin-l exchange operator correspond to thermal one-point blocks for an external spin-l operator.",
