A vertex operator algebra (VOA) and its non-chiral analogue full field algebra (FFA) play important roles in the mathematical theory of gapless boundaries of 2+1D topological order (or TQFT), where a gapless boundary can be viewed as an anomalous 1+1D CFT. In this talk, I will review this theory with an emphasize on the applications of VOA and FFA. I will explain some open questions of VOA and FFA arisen from this theory.
