Abstract

The loop space of the Riemann sphere consisting of all CkC^k or Sobolev Wk,pW^{k,p} maps from the circle S1S^1 to the sphere is an infinite dimensional complex manifold. We compute the Picard group of holomorphic line bundles on this loop space as an infinite dimensional complex Lie group with Lie algebra the first Dolbeault group. The group of Mobius transformations GG and its loop group LGLG act on this loop space. We prove that an element of the Picard group is LGLG-fixed if it is GG-fixed; thus completely answer the question by Millson and Zombro about GG-equivariant projective embedding of the loop space of the Riemann sphere.
