We study generalized determinant line bundles for families of principal bundles and connections. We explore the connections of this line bundle and give conditions for the uniqueness of such. Furthermore we construct for families of bundles and connections over manifolds with boundary, a generalized Chern-Simons invariant as a section of a determinant line bundle.

We investigate functorial properties of two hermitian line bundles over the moduli space of flat SU(n)-connections on a closed oriented surface; that is, of the Chern–Simons line bundle and the determinant line bundle. We investigate actions of cyclic subgroups of the mapping class group on them. As a consequence, we show that if we modify the determinant line bundle by the Hodge bundle over the moduli space of Riemann surfaces, then these line bundles are functorially isomorphic. This implies two quantum Hilbert spaces defined by the Chern–Simons line bundle and the modified determinant line bundle are functorially isomorphic.

We provide a thorough construction of a system of compatible determinant line bundles over spaces of Fredholm operators, fully verify that this system satisfies a number of important properties, and include explicit formulas for all relevant isomorphisms between these line bundles. We also completely describe all possible systems of compatible determinant line bundles and compare the conventions and approaches used elsewhere in the literature.

In this paper we apply the theory of quasi-free states of CAR algebras and Bogolubov automorphisms to give an alternative C*-algebraic construction of the Determinant and Pfaffian line bundles discussed by Pressley and Segal and by Borthwick. The basic property of the Pfaffian of being the holomorphic square root of the Determinant line bundle (after restriction from the Hilbert space Grassmannian to the Siegel manifold, or isotropic Grassmannian, consisting of all complex structures on an associated Hilbert space) is derived from a Fock–anti-Fock correspondence and an application of the Powers–Størmer purification procedure. A Borel–Weil type description of the infinite dimensional Spin c- representation is obtained, via a Shale–Stinespring implementation of Bogolubov transformations.

Let X → S be a smooth projective surjective morphism of relative dimension n, where X and S are integral schemes over ℂ. Let L → X be a relatively very ample line bundle. For every sufficiently large positive integer m, there is a canonical isomorphism of the Deligne pairing 〈L,…,L〉 → S with the determinant line bundle [Formula: see text] (see [D. H. Phong, J. Ross and J. Sturm, Deligne pairings and the knudsen–Mumford expansion, J. Differential Geom. 78 (2008) 475–496]). If we fix a hermitian structure on L and a relative Kähler form on X, then each of the line bundles [Formula: see text] and 〈L,…,L〉 carries a distinguished hermitian structure. We prove that the above mentioned isomorphism between 〈L,…,L〉 → S and [Formula: see text] is compatible with these hermitian structures. This holds also for the isomorphism in [Deligne pairing and determinant bundle, Electron. Res. Announc. Math. Sci. 18 (2011) 91–96] between a Deligne paring and a certain determinant line bundle.

We introduce the strength for sections of a line bundle on an algebraic variety. This generalizes the strength of homogeneous polynomials that has been recently introduced to resolve Stillman's conjecture, an important problem in commutative algebra. We establish the first properties of this notion and give some tool to obtain upper bounds on the strength in this framework. Moreover, we show some results on the usual strength such as the reducibility of the set of strength two homogeneous polynomials.

A line bundle, L, on a smooth, connected projective surface, S, is defined [7] to be k-very ample for a non-negative integer, k, if given any 0-dimensional sub-scheme with length , it follows that the restriction map is onto. L is 1-very ample (respectively 0-very ample) if and only if L is very ample (respectively spanned at all points by global sections). For a smooth surface, S, embedded in projective space by | L | where L is very ample, L being k-very ample is equivalent to there being no k-secant Pk−1 to S containing ≥ k + 1 points of S.

Abstract We derive the $$ T\overline{T} $$ T T ¯ -perturbed version of two-dimensional q-deformed Yang-Mills theory on an arbitrary Riemann surface by coupling the unperturbed theory in the first order formalism to Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. We show that the $$ T\overline{T} $$ T T ¯ -deformation results in a breakdown of the connection with a Chern-Simons theory on a Seifert manifold, and of the large N factorization into chiral and anti-chiral sectors. For the U(N) gauge theory on the sphere, we show that the large N phase transition persists, and that it is of third order and induced by instantons. The effect of the $$ T\overline{T} $$ T T ¯ -deformation is to decrease the critical value of the ’t Hooft coupling, and also to extend the class of line bundles for which the phase transition occurs. The same results are shown to hold for (q, t)-deformed Yang-Mills theory. We also explicitly evaluate the entanglement entropy in the large N limit of Yang-Mills theory, showing that the $$ T\overline{T} $$ T T ¯ -deformation decreases the contribution of the Boltzmann entropy.
