A conformal partition function ${\cal P}_n^m(s)$, which arose in the theory of Diophantine equations supplemented with additional restrictions, is concerned with {\it self-dual symmetric polynomials} -- reciprocal ${\sf R}^{\{m\}}_ {S_n}$…
The decomposition of correlation functions into conformal blocks is an indispensable tool in conformal field theory. For spinning correlators, non-trivial tensor structures are needed to mediate between the conformal blocks, which are…

These notes survey the theory of (twisted) conformal blocks from an algebro-geometric perspective and have two main goals. The first one is to summarize the construction of conformal blocks from vertex operator algebras, and to describe…
The Verma modules over the quantum groups $\mathrm U_q(\mathfrak{gl}_{l + 1})$ for arbitrary values of $l$ are analysed. The explicit expressions for the action of the generators on the elements of the natural basis are obtained. The…
The physical interpretation of the main notions of the quantum group theory (coproduct, representations and corepresentations, action and coaction) is discussed using the simplest examples of $q$-deformed objects (quantum group…
We study analytical aspects of a generic q-deformation with q real, by relating it with discrete scale invariance. We show how models of conformal quantum mechanics, in the strong coupling regime and after regularization, are also discrete…
A q-analogue of four dimensional conformally invariant field theory based on the quantum algebra U_{q}(so(4,2)) is proposed. The two- and three-point correlation functions are calculated. The construction is elaborated in order to fit the…
For conformal field theories in arbitrary dimensions, we introduce a method to derive the conformal blocks corresponding to the exchange of a traceless symmetric tensor appearing in four point functions of operators with spin. Using the…

We discuss the geometrical connection between 2D conformal field theories, random walks on hyperbolic Riemann surfaces and knot theory. For the wide class of CFTs with monodromies being the discrete subgroups of SL(2,R), the determination…
The $q$-commutation relations, formulated in the setting of the $q$-Fock space of Bo\.zjeko and Speicher, interpolate between the classical commutation relations (CCR) and the classical anti-commutation relations (CAR) defined on the…
Fractional calculus and q-deformed Lie algebras are closely related. Both concepts expand the scope of standard Lie algebras to describe generalized symmetries. A new class of fractional q-deformed Lie algebras is proposed, which for the…
We compute the conformal blocks associated with scalar-scalar-fermion-fermion 4-point functions in 3D CFTs. Together with the known scalar conformal blocks, our result completes the task of determining the so-called `seed blocks' in three…
We present further mathematical results on a function appearing in the conformal blocks of four-point correlation functions with arbitrary quasi-primary operators. The $H$-function was introduced in a previous article and it has several…
