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.
