We present a survey of two-dimensional conformal field theory and show how the mathematical structures underlying conformal field theory can be used to construct invariants of links imbedded in a general class of three-dimensional manifolds. After a general introduction, we discuss chiral algebras and their representation theory. Chiral vertices are introduced as analogues of Clebsch-Gordan operators in group theory. Braiding and fusing of chiral vertices is analyzed, and it is sketched how to define conformal field theory on arbitrary Riemann surfaces by a sewing procedure. We then show how to construct link invariants from the data provided by a conformal field theory and sketch connections with quantum group theory.
