Twisted conformal blocks and their dimension
Abstract
Let be a finite group acting on a simple Lie algebra and acting on a -pointed projective curve faithfully (for ). Also, let an integrable highest weight module of an appropriate twisted affine Lie algebra determined by the ramification at with a fixed central charge is attached to each . We prove that the space of twisted conformal blocks attached to this data is isomorphic to the space associated to a quotient group of acting on by diagram automorphisms and acting on a quotient of . Under some mild conditions on ramification types, we prove that calculating the dimension of twisted conformal blocks can be reduced to the situation when acts on by diagram automorphisms and covers of 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 -curves (with mild restrictions on ramification types). In particular, if the Lie algebra is not of type , there are no restrictions on ramification types.
