The idea of summing over all intermediate states that is central for implementing locality in quantum systems can be realized by coend constructions. In the concrete case of systems of conformal blocks for a certain class of conformal vertex algebras, one deals with coends in functor categories. Working with these coends involves quite a few subtleties which, even though they have in principle already been understood twenty years ago, have not been sufficiently appreciated by the conformal field theory community.

The congruence subgroup property is established for the modular representations associated to any modular tensor category. This result is used to prove that the kernel of the representation of the modular group on the conformal blocks of any rational
, C_2-cofinite vertex operator algebra is a congruence subgroup. In particular, the q-character of each irreducible module is a modular function on the same congruence subgroup. The Galois symmetry of the modular representations is obtained and the order of the anomaly for those modular categories satisfying some integrality conditions is determined.
The role of automorphisms of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras in conformal field theory is examined. Two main types of applications are discussed; they are related to the enhancement and reduction of symmetry, respectively. The structures one encoun
ters also appear in other areas of physics and mathematics. In particular, they lead to two conjectures on the sub-bundle structure of chiral blocks, and they are instrumental in the study of conformally invariant boundary conditions.
It is known that there are 48 Virasoro algebras acting on the monster conformal field theory. We call conformal field theories with such a property, which are not necessarily chiral, code conformal field theories. In this paper, we introduce a notion
of a framed algebra, which is a finite-dimensional non-associative algebra, and showed that the category of framed algebras and the category of code conformal field theories are equivalent. We have also constructed a new family of integrable conformal field theories using this equivalence. These conformal field theories are expected to be useful for the study of moduli spaces of conformal field theories.
A two-dimensional chiral conformal field theory can be viewed mathematically as the representation theory of its chiral algebra, a vertex operator algebra. Vertex operator algebras are especially well suited for studying logarithmic conformal field t
heory (in which correlation functions have logarithmic singularities arising from non-semisimple modules for the chiral algebra) because of the logarithmic tensor category theory of Huang, Lepowsky, and Zhang. In this paper, we study not-necessarily-semisimple or rigid braided tensor categories $mathcal{C}$ of modules for the fixed-point vertex operator subalgebra $V^G$ of a vertex operator (super)algebra $V$ with finite automorphism group $G$. The main results are that every $V^G$-module in $mathcal{C}$ with a unital and associative $V$-action is a direct sum of $g$-twisted $V$-modules for possibly several $gin G$, that the category of all such twisted $V$-modules is a braided $G$-crossed (super)category, and that the $G$-equivariantization of this braided $G$-crossed (super)category is braided tensor equivalent to the original category $mathcal{C}$ of $V^G$-modules. This generalizes results of Kirillov and M{u}ger proved using rigidity and semisimplicity. We also apply the main results to the orbifold rationality problem: whether $V^G$ is strongly rational if $V$ is strongly rational. We show that $V^G$ is indeed strongly rational if $V$ is strongly rational, $G$ is any finite automorphism group, and $V^G$ is $C_2$-cofinite.
The lectures provide a pedagogical introduction to the methods of CFT as applied to two-dimensional critical behaviour.
