Abstract
Let be a non-compact geometrically finite hyperbolic –manifold without cusps of rank . The deformation space of can be identified with the Teichmüller space of the conformal boundary of as the graph of a section in . We construct a Hermitian holomorphic line bundle on , with curvature equal to a multiple of the Weil–Petersson symplectic form. This bundle has a canonical holomorphic section defined by , where is the renormalized volume of and is the Chern–Simons invariant of . This section is parallel on for the Hermitian connection modified by the component of the Liouville form on . As applications, we deduce that is Lagrangian in , and that is a Kähler potential for the Weil–Petersson metric on and on its quotient by a certain subgroup of the mapping class group. For the Schottky uniformisation, we use a formula of Zograf to construct an explicit isomorphism of holomorphic Hermitian line bundles between and the sixth power of the determinant line bundle.
