Angela Gibney

Angela Gibney is a mathematician specializing in algebraic geometry, vertex operator algebras, and conformal field theory. Her work focuses on moduli spaces of curves and their applications to geometric representation theory. She has contributed to foundational research on conformal blocks, factorization algebras, and sheaf cohomology, often collaborating with experts in algebraic geometry and mathematical physics.

• Research interests include vertex algebras, conformal blocks, moduli of curves, and their connections to representation theory.
• Published extensively in top-tier journals such as Annales scientifiques de l'École normale supérieure, Compositio Mathematica, and Geometry & Topology.
• Co-developed mode transition algebras to study geometric properties of conformal blocks, linking algebraic structures to moduli space geometry.

Her work bridges algebraic geometry and mathematical physics, with applications to cohomological field theories and enumerative geometry. Collaborations include advancing factorization conjectures and exploring Chern classes of conformal blocks bundles.
