Moore-Tachikawa conjecture and chiral algebras of class S

Abstract: 

Motivated by the string theory, Moore and Tachikawa conjectured in 2011 the existence of two-dimensional topological quantum field theories associated with symplectic varieties. In my lecture I will talk about a possible solution to this conjecture via vertex algebras which are a priori nothing to do with the conjecture.
