dc.descriptionWe prove that the groupoid of transformations of rigid structures on surfaces has a finite presentation as a 2-groupoid establishing a result first conjectured by G.Moore and N.Seiberg. An alternative proof was given by B.Bakalov and A.Kirillov Jr. We present some applications to TQFTs. This is also related to recent work on the Grothendieck-Teichmuller groupoid by P.Lochak, A.Hatcher and L.Schneps.
