This paper studies the interplay between the following objects: (1) The Virasoro algebra and its highest weight representations. (2). The moduli space of curves. (3) Determinant bundles. (4) Conformal field theory. For example, the Virasoro algebra acts by infinitesimal deformations on the moduli space and on the determinant bundle. Representations of the Virasoro algebra give rise to D-modules on the moduli space which can be interpreted as differential equations for correlation functions in conformal field theory.
