Parity and Spin conformal field theory with boundaries and defects

Abstract: Rational conformal field theory (CFT) on oriented surfaces is well understood in terms of 3-dimensional topological field theory (TFT). We extend these notions to surfaces with spin structures using defects in oriented CFT and a modified TFT taking values in super vector spaces.
