Connections on line bundles over the torus

If I understand correctly, every line bundle $L$ over the (2-dim) torus can be obtained from a quotient of $\mathbb{R}^2 \times \mathbb{C}$ by a $\mathbb{Z}^2$ lattice action. Different line bundles ...

Does there exist a preferred trivialization of a trivial line bundle?

Let $L\to M$ be a topologically trivial complex Hermitian line bundle (over a manifold of dimension three, if this is of any importance). I assume that $L$ admits a trivialization, however, I do not ...

pairing theta functions for different complex structures

I apologize for my previous attempt to ask this, which was very badly written. Let us start with $\mathbb{C}\times\mathbb{C}$. To form an Hermitian line bundle over a complex torus with complex ...

Theta functions and Fourier transforms

Let $T_\tau$ be the 2-dimensional torus, with the complex structure induced by the lattice generated by $1$ and $\tau$. Then for a line bundle $L_k$ over $T$ with level $k$, there is an orthonormal ...
