Vertex algebras were first introduced as a tool used in the description of the algebraic structure of certain quantum field theories. It became increasingly important that vertex algebras are useful not only in the representation theory of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras, where they are by now ubiquitous, but also in other fields, such as algebraic geometry, theory of finite groups, modular functions, and topology.

Vertex algebras were first introduced as a tool used in the description of the algebraic structure of certain quantum field theories. It became increasingly important that vertex algebras are useful not only in the representation theory of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras, where they are by now ubiquitous, but also in other fields, such as algebraic geometry, theory of finite groups, modular functions, and topology. This book is an introduction to the theory of vertex algebras with a particular emphasis on the relationship between vertex algebras and the geometry of moduli spaces of algebraic curves. The authors make the first steps toward reformulating the theory of vertex algebras in a way that is suitable for algebraic-geometric applications.
