Abstract: In this paper we approach the study of generalized theta linear series on moduli of vector bundles on curves via vector bundle techniques on abelian varieties.

We study a naturally defined class of vector bundles on a Jacobian, called Verlinde bundles, in order to obtain information about duality between theta functions and effective global and normal generation on these moduli spaces.
