The spectral curve of a quaternionic holomorphic line bundle over a 2-torus (Q1034704): Difference between revisions

Let \(W\) be a right quaternionic vector bundle over a \(2\)-torus \(T\) which has a holomorphic structure \(D\). Let Spec\((W,D)\) be the associated spectrum of complex monodromies occuring for non-trivial holomorphic sections over the pull-back bundle on the universal cover. This is a 1-dimensional complex analytic set. The associated spectral curve \(S\) is the Riemann surface which normalizes Spec\((W,D)\). The authors provide a detailed desciption of the geometry and asymptotic behavior of \(S\). If \(S\) has finite genus, the Dirichlet energy of a map from \(T^2\) to \(S^2\) or the Willmore energy of an immersion of \(T^2\) into \(S^4\) are presented in terms of the geometry of \(S\). Similarly, the kernel bundle of a Dirac type bundle can be related to the Jacobian of \(S\).
