Poincaré bundle

The Poincaré bundle is a mathematical construction that connects elliptic curves (geometric objects resembling deformed circles) with line bundles (algebraic structures representing functions). Think of it as a universal object that parameterizes all possible line bundles over each point of the elliptic curve, essentially acting as a "master template" capturing how these bundles vary across the curve. It plays a key role in areas like geometry and number theory, helping mathematicians understand relationships between shapes and functions in a unified way.
