SUMMARY:Mikio Furuta: Polarizations and the moduli space of flat connect
 ions on a Riemann surface
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The Verlinde formula computes the dimensions of co
 nformal blocks which are given by the quantization in a Kahler polarizat
 ion of the moduli space of flat connections on a Riemann surface. In the
  early 90's Jeffrey and Weitsman showed that the Verlinde formula for th
 e SU(2)-WZW model matched the quantization in a real polarization of the
  moduli space associated to a pants decomposition. In this talk I will e
 xplain the matching directly for the Riemann surface of genus 2 with a m
 arked point. Our approach relies on a version of Witten deformation. Joi
 nt work with Takahiko Yoshida and Hajime Fujita.
