My thesis was "borrowing" results from conformal field theory papers and dressing them up as pure mathematics about Riemann surfaces.

I always thought of Riemann surfaces as the meeting point of 3 disciplines but not the same 3 as you :) A Riemann surface is a certain type of field (in the algebraic sense) giving a purely algebraic definition. It's the same as the algebraic geometry definition really but shifts the emphasis.
