DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/agstanford/1
 22/">Vertex operator algebras and moduli spaces</a>\nby Angela Gibney (Uni
 versity of Pennsylvania) as part of Stanford algebraic geometry seminar\n\
 nLecture held in 383-N.\n\nAbstract\nVertex operator algebras (VOAs) are g
 eneralizations of commutative associative algebras and of Lie algebras. As
  I will illustrate\, there are a number of interesting examples of VOAs th
 at come from moduli spaces\, and striking instances where the VOA formalis
 m has been used to solve problems about these moduli spaces.  There are na
 tural algebraic structures on moduli of curves derived from representation
 s of more general VOAs. I’ll describe some open questions about the VOAs
 \, and about the moduli spaces of curves which these structures have been 
 used to investigate.\n
