The moduli spaces of vector bundles on a compact Riemann surface carry a natural line bundle, the determinant bundle. The sections of this line bundle and its multiples constitute a non-abelian generalization of the classical theta functions. New ideas coming from mathematical physics have shed a new light on these spaces of sections—allowing notably to compute their dimension (Verlinde’s formula). This survey paper is devoted to giving an overview of these ideas and of the most important recent results on the subject.
