Gluing data for factorization monoids and vertex ind-schemes

Abstract: We give an explicit description of factorization algebras over the affine line, constructing them from the gluing data determined by its corresponding OPE algebra. We then generalize this construction to factorization monoids, obtaining a description of them in terms of a non-linear version of OPE algebras which we call OPE monoids. In the translation equivariant setting this approach allows us to define vertex ind-schemes, which we interpret as a conformal analogue of the notion of Lie group, since we show that their linearizations yield vertex algebras and that their Zariski tangent spaces are Lie conformal algebras.
