Abstract: We clarify the relations between sewing and propagating conformal blocks. In particular, we show that sewing and propagation and commuting procedures. As an application, we give a geometric construction of permutation-twisted modules for tensor product VOAs. Their first (algebraic) construction is due to Barron-Dong-Mason. The results and the point of view in this article are crucial for relating the (genus-0) permutation-twisted conformal blocks associated to a tensor product VOA $V^{otimes k}$ and the untwisted conformal blocks (of possibly higher genera) associated to $V$, which will be discussed in an upcoming work. Comments for the new version: Section 5 has been revised. In the previous version, the proof of Thm. 7.1 (which relies on Thm. 5.3 (old version numbering)) does not cover the important case that the compact Riemann surface has only one marked point. This has been fixed by weakening the assumption in Thm. 5.3 (Thm. 5.5 in this revised version). Thm. 5.5 (new version) relies on the results in arXiv:2011.07450, which has also been revised.
