From WZW models to Modular Functors
From MaRDI portal
Publication:2950752
Abstract: In this survey paper (which supersedes our earlier arXiv preprint math.AG/0507086) we give a relatively simple and coordinate free description of the WZW model as a local system whose base is a G_m-bundle on the moduli stack of pointed curves. We derive its main properties and show how it leads to a modular functor in the spirit of Graeme Segal (except for unitarity). The approach presented here is almost purely algebro-geometric in character; it avoids the Boson-Fermion correspondence, operator product expansions as well as Teichmueller theory.
