Quantization of some moduli spaces of parabolic vector bundles on \({\mathbb C}{\mathbb P}^1\) (Q1941763)

The paper is devoted to the geometric quantization of the moduli space \(\mathcal{M}_P(r)\) of parabolic bundles of rank \(r\) over \(\mathbb{CP}^1\) with four parabolic points and parabolic weights in \(\{0,~ 1/2\}\) with parabolic degree zero [\textit{M. Maruyama} and \textit{K. Yokogawa}, Math. Ann. 293, No. 1, 77--99 (1992; Zbl 0735.14008)]. In such a case there is a determinant line bundle \(\zeta_P\) over the moduli space of parabolic bundles endowed with a natural Chern connection, whose curvature is the Kähler form. If \(X\) is the elliptic curve which has a degree two map to \(\mathbb{CP}^1\) ramified over the parabolic points, then \(\mathcal{M}_P(r)\) has dimension \(d\leq r/2\), and there is a canonical isomorphism \(\mathcal{M}_P(r)\cong X^d/\Gamma_d\cong \mathbb{CP}^d\). Here, \(\Gamma_d\) is the semidirect product \((\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})^d\times\Sigma_d\) for the natural action of the symmetric group \(\Sigma_d\) on \((\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})^d\). Denoting by \(\zeta_P\rightarrow \mathcal{M}_P(r)\) the determinant bundle and by \(\phi\) the natural projection \(X^d\rightarrow \mathcal{M}_P(r)\), the authors obtain an isomorphism \(\phi^*\zeta_P\cong L^2\) for the natural polarization line bundle \(L\) on the abelian variety \(X^d\). This fact allows the expression of the quantization Hilbert space \(H^0(\mathcal{M}_P,\zeta^k_P )\) at level \(k\) in terms of the abelian theta functions of level \(2k\) on \(X^d\). A comparison of the real and Kähler polarized Hilbert spaces is made. This is realized applying the framework of the previous paper [\textit{C. A. Florentino, J. M. Murão} and \textit{J. P. Nunes}, Funct. Anal. 204, No. 2, 355--398 (2003; Zbl 1081.22005)] for non-abelian theta functions over the moduli space of rank two vector bundles, with trivial determinant, over \(X\). The Segal-Bargmann-Hall coherent transform [\textit{B. C. Hall}, J. Funct. Anal. 122, No. 1, 103--151 (1994; Zbl 0838.22004)] is applied. Non-abelian theta functions of level \(k\) on \(\mathcal{M}_P\) are then described in terms of \(Ad\)-invariant holomorphic functions on the group \(\text{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})\) with special quasi-periodicity properties. The holomorphic functions are obtained from elements in a vector space of distributions on the compact real form \(\text{SU}(2)\) by applying the Segal-Bargmann-Hall transform for time \(\frac{1}{(k+2)}\).
