The stack parametrizing fa milies of stable n-pointed curves of genus g\, and the space that (coarsel y) represents it\, give insight into curves and their degenerations\, are prototypes for moduli of higher dimensional varieties\, and are interestin g objects of study in their own right. Vertex operator algebras (VOAs) and their representation theory\, have had a profound influence on mathematic s and mathematical physics\, playing a particularly important role in unde rstanding conformal field theories\, finite group theory\, and invariants in topology. In this talk I will discuss vector bundles on moduli of curve s defined by certain representations of VOAs.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/AG-Davis/39/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
