Theta functions and adiabatic curvature on an elliptic curve

Publication date 10 February 2022

Abstract: Let

M

be a complex torus,

L_{h a t m u} o M

be positive line bundles parametrized by

h a t m u i n {m P i c}^{0} (M)

, and

E o {m P i c}^{0} (M)

be a vector bundle with

E |_{h a t m u} c o n g H^{0} (M, L_{h a t m u})

. We endow the total family

{L_{h a t m u}}_{h a t m u}

with a Hermitian metric that induces the

L^{2}

-metric on

H^{0} (M, L_{h a t m u})

hence on

E

. By using theta functions

{h e t a_{m}}_{m}

on

M i m e s M

as a family of functions on the first factor

M

with parameters in the second factor

M

, our computation of the full curvature tensor

T h e t a_{E}

of

E

with respect to this

L^{2}

-metric shows that

T h e t a_{E}

is essentially an identity matrix multiplied by a constant

2

-form, which yields in particular the adiabatic curvature

c_{1} (E)

. After a natural base change

M o h a t M

so that

E i m e s_{h a t M} M := E^{'}

, we also obtain that

E^{'}

splits holomorphically into a direct sum of line bundles each of which is isomorphic to

L_{h a t m u = 0}^{*}

. Physically, the spaces

H^{0} (M, L_{h a t m u})

correspond to the lowest eigenvalue with respect to certain family of Hamiltonian operators on

M

parametrized by

h a t m u

or in physical notation, by wave vectors

.
