Introduction.
In this text we shall deal with only one aspect of the conformai field theory - the concept of the modular functor. Recall the main structure of the conformai field theory. Let M be a complex curve. First of all the theory associates to M a finite dimensional vector space H(M). The construction of H(M) depends on the choice of a complex structure on M, but really the correspondence M - H (M) is topological by nature. Our approach to the definition of H(M) is the following. Let Dif(JVf) be the group of all C°°-diffeomorphisms of M. The group Dif(M) acts on the space of all complex structures on M.
