Abstract: We review both the construction of conformal blocks in quantum Liouville theory and the quantization of Teichm"uller spaces as developed by Kashaev, Checkov and Fock. In both cases one assigns to a Riemann surface a Hilbert space acted on by a representation of the mapping class group. According to a conjecture of H. Verlinde, the two are equivalent. We describe some key steps in the verification of this conjecture.
