The Global Sections of Chiral de Rham Complexes on Closed Complex Curves
Bailin Song, Wujie Xie
TL;DR
The paper determines the global sections $H^0(X,\Omega^{ch}_X)$ of the chiral de Rham complex on a closed complex curve $X$ of genus $g\ge 2$ by translating to antiholomorphic sections of $SW(\bar{T}^{*}X)$ via a canonical isomorphism and then analyzing the differential $\bar{D}$ in graded pieces. It shows that, for Hermitian locally symmetric $X$, higher curvature corrections vanish beyond $F_2$ and reduces the calculation to holomorphic data controlled by $F_1$; in particular, the space of global sections decomposes into contributions from $\ker F_1$ on the $(k,l,s)=(k,s,s)$ sector and from all sectors with $l>s$, with the former tied to $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-invariants of the $\beta\gamma-bc$ system. The results provide an explicit vertex algebra description of $H^0(X,\Omega^{ch}_X)$ for high-genus curves and connect chiral de Rham theory to classical geometric structures via the curvature and Chern connection. Overall, the work extends the S3 framework to closed curves, yielding a precise, structure-rich account of global chiral de Rham sections on genus $g\ge 2$ curves and highlighting the role of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-invariance in the holomorphic sector.
