Abstract
Spaces of conformal blocks are naturally constructed starting from a geometric datum (a projective curve with some marked point) and a representation theoretic input (e.g., a vertex algebra V and some V-modules). Varying the geometric data, these conformal blocks define sheaves on the moduli space of curves which satisfy particularly nice combinatorial and functorial properties. In this talk I will give an overview of these properties and discuss open problems related to conformal blocks. Based on joint work with A. Gibney, D. Krashen and N. Tarasca.
