Conformal blocks from vertex algebras and their connections on \(\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}\). (English) Zbl 1484.14011

Summary: We show that coinvariants of modules over vertex operator algebras give rise to quasicoherent sheaves on moduli of stable pointed curves. These generalize Verlinde bundles or vector bundles of conformal blocks defined using affine Lie algebras studied first by A. Tsuchiya and Y. Kanie [Lett. Math. Phys. 13, 303–312 (1987; Zbl 0631.17010)], K. Ueno [Lond. Math. Soc. Lect. Note Ser. 208, 283–345 (1995; Zbl 0846.17027)], and extend work of others. The sheaves carry a twisted logarithmic \(\mathcal{D}\)-module structure, and hence support a projectively flat connection. We identify the logarithmic Atiyah algebra acting on them, generalizing work of Tsuchimoto for affine Lie algebras.
