Abstract

We explicitly construct bases for meromorphicλ-differentials over genusg Riemann surfaces. With the help of these bases we introduce a new operator formalism over Riemann surfaces which closely resembles the operator formalism on the sphere. As an application we calculate the propagators forb-c systems with arbitrary integer or half-integerλ (in the Ramond and Neveu-Schwarz sectors). We also give explicit expressions for the zero modes and for the Teichmüller deformations for a generic Riemann surface.
