DESCRIPTION:Christian Pauly\, University of Nice\nIn the first half of thi
 s talk I will give a quick introduction to the mathematematical theory of 
 conformal blocks as defined by Tsuchiya\, Ueno and Yamada in 1989. The re
 levance of conformal blocks for algebraic geometers lies in the fact that
  they are related to spaces of theta functions over moduli spaces of vecto
 r bundles over a compact Riemann surface and thus the theory of conformal
  blocks gives some information on the topology and the geometry of these m
 oduli spaces. In the second half of this talk I will survey a couple of r
 ecent results on the so-called Hitchin/WZW connection on the sheaf of con
 formal bloc
