For , translations preserve its line bundle class, so . Equivalently, the kernel of is the Identity component of the Picard group. Applying the preceding Poincaré line bundle formula to yields
since the normalized Poincaré line bundle is trivial on . Pullback and tensor products of sheaves also give . Thus depends only on , the Néron-Severi group.
For a line bundle on , define the homomorphism associated to a line bundle on an abelian variety
The translation identity from part (i) gives
so is a homomorphism.
Suppose lies in its image. Then
which is trivial by the same translation identity. Hence ; the image of every lies in the Identity component of the Picard group .
Part iii already proves injectivity. Pullback along sends translation-invariant line bundles to translation-invariant line bundles, so it defines
Clearly .
For , put and
Then is trivial on both coordinate axes. Since and the two correcting factors lie in , translation by leaves invariant. Hence every restriction is trivial. The Seesaw theorem and triviality on imply . Thus , so
