Abstract

Fix a pair of relatively prime integers n>k1n>k\ge 1, and a point (ητ)C×H(\eta\,|\,\tau)\in\mathbb{C}\times\mathbb{H}, where H\mathbb{H} denotes the upper-half complex plane, and let (a  bc  d)SL(2,Z){{a\;\,b}\choose{c\,\;d}}\in\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z}). We show that Feigin and Odesskii's elliptic algebras Qn,k(ητ)Q_{n,k}(\eta\,|\,\tau) have the property Qn,k(ηcτ+daτ+bcτ+d)Qn,k(ητ)Q_{n,k}\big(\frac{\eta}{c\tau+d}\,\big\vert\,\frac{a\tau+b}{c\tau+d}\big)\cong Q_{n,k}(\eta\,|\,\tau). As a consequence, given a pair (E,ξ)(E,\xi) consisting of a complex elliptic curve EE and a point ξE\xi\in E, one may unambiguously define Qn,k(E,ξ):=Qn,k(ητ)Q_{n,k}(E,\xi):=Q_{n,k}(\eta\,|\,\tau) where τH\tau\in\mathbb{H} is any point such that C/Z+ZτE\mathbb{C}/\mathbb{Z}+\mathbb{Z}\tau\cong E and ηC\eta\in\mathbb{C} is any point whose image in EE is ξ\xi. This justifies Feigin and Odesskii's notation Qn,k(E,ξ)Q_{n,k}(E,\xi) for their algebras.
