Given a 3-dimensional TQFT, the "conformal blocks" are the
values of that TQFT on closed Riemann surfaces.
The construction that we'll present (joint work with Douglas &
Bartels) takes as only input the value of the TQFT on discs. Towards
the end, I will explain to what extent the conformal blocks that we
construct agree with the conformal blocks constructed e.g. from the
theory of vertex operator algebras.
