What is the connection between divisors and line bundles?

34 Views Asked by At

I'm somewhat new to algebraic geometry. I'm currently studying algebraic curves primarily over closed fields, (for future discussion let's just call such a curve C). I was taught to think of things like $\rm{Pic}^{0}(C)$ as a set of equivalence classes of divisors on C. From what I gather, these are usually called Weil Divisors.

Some literature seems to take the approach that these classes on $\rm{Pic}^{0}(C)$ can be thought of instead as a line bundle. For example, if I let $\epsilon$ be a two-torsion point on C, I can think of $[\epsilon]$ as an order two line bundle.

My question is what the connection is. How can I intuitively see that this must be true?
