The theory of conformal blocks is important in 2d conformal field theory. It is defined via Wess-Witten-Zumino, more precisely in terms of Kac-Moody theory. It is related to the geometry of moduli space of algebraic curves. Moreover, conformal blocks can be identified with the theta functions on the moduli stack of principle G-bundles.
I will talk about a twisted theory of conformal blocks attached to Galois covers of algebraic curves, where twisted Kac-Moody algebra will play key roles. I will also talk about the identification between twisted conformal blocks and the theta functions on the moduli stack of torsors over parahoric Bruhat-Tits group schemes over curves. This talk is based on the joint work with Shrawan Kumar.
