We investigate the behavior of vector bundles of conformal blocks for $sp_{2\ell}$ at level one on $\bar{M}_{0,n}$. We show their first Chern classes are equivalent to conformal blocks divisors for $sl_2$ at level $\ell$ if and only if the…

We study a family of semiample divisors on $\bar{M}_{0,n}$ defined using conformal blocks and analyze their associated morphisms.

We study a family of semiample divisors on the moduli space $\bar{M}_{0,n}$ that come from the theory of conformal blocks for the Lie algebra $sl_n$ and level 1. The divisors we study are invariant under the action of $S_n$ on…

Conformal block divisors in type A on $\bar{M}_{0,{n}}$ are shown to satisfy new symmetries when levels and ranks are interchanged in non-standard ways. A connection with the quantum cohomology of Grassmannians reveals that these divisors…

We describe new relations among conformal block divisors in $\operatorname{Pic}(\bar{\operatorname{M}}_{0,n})$. These relations appear from various rank-level dualities of conformal blocks on $\mathbb{P}^1$ with $n$ marked points. We also…

We prove that the type A, level one, conformal blocks divisors on $\bar{M}_{0,n}$ span a finitely generated, full-dimensional subcone of the nef cone. Each such divisor induces a morphism from $\bar{M}_{0,n}$, and we identify its image as a…

We introduce and study the problem of finding necessary and sufficient conditions under which a conformal blocks divisor on $\bar{M}_{0,n}$ is nonzero. We give necessary conditions in type A, which are sufficient when theta and critical…

We derive a formula for the Chern classes of the bundles of conformal blocks on \bar{M}_{0,n} associated to simple finite dimensional Lie algebras and explore its consequences in more detail for sl_2 and in general for level 1. We also give…

Using equivariant localization formulas we give a formula for conformal blocks at level one on the sphere as suitable polynomials. Using this presentation we give a generating set in the space of conformal blocks at any level if the marked…

Let $X$ be a smooth, pointed Riemann surface of genus zero, and $G$ a simple, simply-connected complex algebraic group. Associated to a finite number of weights of $G$ and a level is a vector space called the space of conformal blocks, and…

For any simple Lie algebra, a positive integer, and tuple of compatible weights, the conformal blocks bundle is a globally generated vector bundle on the moduli space of pointed rational curves. We classify all $S_n$-invariant vector…

We give a direct proof, valid in arbitrary characteristic, of nefness for two families of F-nef divisors on $\bar{M}_{0,n}$. The divisors we consider include all type A level one conformal block divisors as well as divisors previously not…

Conformal blocks in any number of dimensions depend on two variables z, zbar. Here we study their restrictions to the special "diagonal" kinematics z = zbar, previously found useful as a starting point for the conformal bootstrap analysis.…

Classical invariants for representations of one Lie group can often be related to invariants of some other Lie group. Physics suggests that the right objects to consider for these questions are certain refinements of classical invariants…

By way of intersection theory on $\bar M_{g,n}$, we show that geometric interpretations for conformal blocks, as sections of ample line bundles over projective varieties, do not have to hold at points on the boundary. We show such a…

We derive conformal blocks in an inverse spacetime dimension expansion. In this large D limit, the blocks are naturally written in terms of a new combination of conformal cross-ratios. We comment on the implications for the conformal…

We consider the dimensional reduction of a CFT, breaking multiplets of the d-dimensional conformal group SO(d+1,1) up into multiplets of SO(d,1). This leads to an expansion of d-dimensional conformal blocks in terms of blocks in d-1…

We show that the conformal blocks constructed in the previous article by the first and the third author may be described as certain integrals in equivariant cohomology. When the bundles of conformal blocks have rank one, this construction…

Conformal nets provide a mathematical formalism for conformal field theory. Associated to a conformal net with finite index, we give a construction of the `bundle of conformal blocks', a representation of the mapping class groupoid of…

We study effective divisors $D$ on surfaces with $H^0(\mathcal O_D)=k$ and $H^1(\mathcal O_D)=H^0(\mathcal O_D(D))=0$. We give a numerical criterion for such divisors, following a general investigation of negativity, rigidity and…
