Title:

Genus One Conformal Block of Affine Vertex Operator Algebras

Abstract:

An affine vertex operator algebra (VOA) is a VOA constructed from modules of an affine Kac-Moody algebra. In this talk, we will recall the definition of conformal blocks for affine VOAs on genus-one Riemann surfaces. We will then discuss the structure and key properties of these spaces, which are central to the representation theory of VOAs and its connections to other subjects.

Vertex operator algebras and conformal blocks
AbstractConformal blocks are central objects in the study of 2d conformal field theory and vertex operator algebras (VOAs). Indeed, many important problems in VOAs are related to conformal blocks, including modular invariance of VOA characters (the earliest such type of problem is the famous monstrous moonshine conjecture), the construction of tensor categories for VOA representations, the stud...
