I am mainly interested in 2D Conformal Field Theory, and more precisely Toda CFTs, that generalize Liouville CFT and exhibit rich additional symmetries. I try to understand these models when defined on surfaces with boundaries. The study of such theories and of their symmetry algebras, implies many different mathematical techniques, such as probability theory and Gaussian calculus, representation theory, and vertex operator algebras.
