This talk focuses on an algebro-geometric approach to twisted conformal blocks of vertex operator algebras arising in orbifold conformal field theory. I will talk about the twisted chiral Lie algebra and its constrained version, the notion of twisted (restricted) conformal blocks, and the coherence of the space of such conformal blocks under certain conditions. In particular, the framework of restrictions of twisted conformal blocks provides various approaches to compute twisted fusion rules.
