DESCRIPTION:One of the basic ingredients of a quantum field theory (QFT) i
 s an operator product expansion (OPE). I will explain what that is an how 
 to formalize this notion in geometric terms using the Ran space (introduce
 d in this context by Beilinson and Drinfeld). This leads to the theory of 
 chiral algebras and factorization algebras.
