Principal divisor on a complex manifold
ID: principal-divisor-on-a-complex-manifold
The divisor on a complex manifold of a nonzero global meromorphic function records its zero and pole orders along irreducible analytic hypersurfaces. It is called principal. Its holomorphic line bundle associated to a divisor is trivial: choosing the same global meromorphic function as the local equation on every open set gives identity transition functions. In particular, two hyperplanes in Complex projective space have isomorphic associated bundles, since the quotient of their homogeneous linear equations is a global meromorphic function with their difference as divisor.
