Abstract

Let Γ\Gamma be a finite group acting on a simple Lie algebra g\mathfrak{g} and acting on a ss-pointed projective curve (Σ,p={p1,,ps})(\Sigma, \vec{p}=\{p_1, \dots, p_s\}) faithfully (for s1s\geq 1). Also, let an integrable highest weight module Hc(λi)\mathscr{H}_c(\lambda_i) of an appropriate twisted affine Lie algebra determined by the ramification at pip_i with a fixed central charge cc is attached to each pip_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 Γ\Gamma acting on g\mathfrak{g} by diagram automorphisms and acting on a quotient of Σ\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 Γ\Gamma acts on g\mathfrak{g} by diagram automorphisms and covers of P1\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 Γ\Gamma-curves (with mild restrictions on ramification types). In particular, if the Lie algebra g\mathfrak{g} is not of type D4D_4, there are no restrictions on ramification types.
