A canonical connection on bundles on Riemann surfaces and Quillen connection on the theta bundle

Abstract We investigate the symplectic geometric and also the differential geometric aspects of the moduli space of connections on a compact connected Riemann surface X. Fix a theta characteristic K X 1 / 2 on X; it defines a theta divisor on the moduli space M of stable vector bundles on X of rank r degree zero. Given a vector bundle E ∈ M lying outside the theta divisor, we construct a natural holomorphic connection on E that depends holomorphically on E. Using this holomorphic connection, we construct a canonical holomorphic isomorphism between the following two: (1) the moduli space C of pairs ( E , D ) , where E ∈ M and D is a holomorphic connection on E, and (2) the space Conn ( Θ ) given by the sheaf of holomorphic connections on the line bundle on M associated to the theta divisor. The above isomorphism between C and Conn ( Θ ) is symplectic structure preserving, and it moves holomorphically as X runs over a holomorphic family of Riemann surfaces.
