Abstract: In this paper we observe that isomorphism classes of certain metrized vector bundles over P^1-{0,infinity} can be parameterized by arithmetic quotients of loop groups. We construct an asymptotic version of theta functions, which are defined on these quotients. Then we prove the convergence and extend the theta functions to loop symplectic groups. We interpret them as sections of line bundles over an infinite dimensional torus, discuss the relations with loop Heisenberg groups, and give an asymptotic multiplication formula.

Review text

The author shows that isomorphism classes of certain metrized vector bundles over \(\operatorname{Spec}\mathbb{Z}[t,t^{-1}]\) can be parameterized using arithmetic quotients of loop groups (with a certain additional datum called covolume theory). These quotients are used to define an asymptotic version of theta functions. The author gives various interpretations for this asymptotic theta function and proves some convergence results. Finally, the author discusses an extension of this function to loop symplectic groups, a relation of this function with loop Heisenberg groups and gives an asymptotic multiplication formula.
