Looijenga line bundles in complex analytic elliptic cohomology


Abstract in English

We present a calculation, which shows how the moduli of complex analytic elliptic curves arises naturally from the Borel cohomology of an extended moduli space of $U(1)$-bundles on a torus. Furthermore, we show how the analogous calculation, applied to a moduli space of principal bundles for a $K(mathbb{Z},2)$ central extension of $U(1)^d$ give rise to Looijenga line bundles. We then speculate on the relation of these calculations to the construction of complex analytic equivariant elliptic cohomology.
