Abstract: Let $Gamma$ be a finite group acting on a simple Lie algebra $mathfrakg$ and acting on a $s$-pointed projective curve $(Sigma,vecp=p_1,dots,p_s)$ faithfully (for $sgeq1$). Also, let an integrable highest weight module $mathscr{H}_c(lambd{a}_i)$ of an appropriate twisted affine Lie algebra determined by the ramification at $p_i$ with a fixed central charge $c$ is attached to each $p_i$. We prove that the space of twisted conformal blocks attached to this data is isomorphic to the space associated to a quotient group of $Gamma$ acting on $mathfrakg$ by diagram automorphisms and acting on a quotient of $Sigma$. Under some mild conditions on ramification types, we prove that calculating the dimension of twisted conformal blocks can be reduced to the situation when $Gamma$ acts on $mathfrakg$ by diagram automorphisms and covers of $mathbb{P}^1$ with 3 marked points. Assuming a twisted analogue of Teleman's vanishing theorem of Lie algebra homology, we derive an analogue of the Kac-Walton formula and the Verlinde formula for general $Gamma$-curves (with mild restrictions on ramification types). In particular, if the Lie algebra $mathfrakg$ is not of type $D_4$, there are no restrictions on ramification types.
