On genus two Riemann surfaces formed from sewn tori (Q883052)

The paper develops a mathematically rigorous theory of chiral partition and \(n\)-point functions on Riemann surfaces at all genera, based on the theory of vertex operator algebras. A rigorous and explicit description of the period matrix and other data on a higher genus Riemann surface in terms of data coming from lower genus surfaces via an explicit sewing procedure is provided. The cases when a genus two Riemann surface is constructed by sewing two tori or by sewing a torus to itself are considered in details.
