Recently we suggested a new quantum algebra, the moduli algebra, which was conjectured to be a quantum algebra of observables of the Hamiltonian Chern Simons theory. This algebra provides the quantization of the algebra of functions on the moduli space of flat connections on a 2-dimensional surface. In this paper we classify unitary representations of this new algebra and identify the corresponding representation spaces with the spaces of conformal blocks of the WZW model. The mapping class group of the surface is proved to act on the moduli algebra by inner automorphisms. The generators of these automorphisms are unitary elements of the moduli algebra. They are constructed explicitly and proved to satisfy the relations of the (unique) central extension of the mapping class group.

    The physical Hilbert space of complex Chern-Simons theory on an m-holed sphere at even level carries a Fenchel-Nielsen representation in which Wilson loops along pants-decomposition cuts act as multiplication operators.
