Abstract

Let XX be a compact connected Riemann surface of genus gg, with g2g\, \geq\,2, and let ξ\xi be a holomorphic line bundle on XX with ξ2=OX\xi^{\otimes 2}\,=\, {\mathcal O}_X. Fix a theta characteristic L\mathbb L on XX. Let MX(r,ξ){\mathcal M}_X(r,\xi) be the moduli space of stable vector bundles EE on XX of rank rr such that rE=ξ\bigwedge^r E\,=\, \xi and H0(X,EL)=0H^0(X,\, E\otimes{\mathbb L})\,=\, 0. Consider the quotient of MX(r,ξ){\mathcal M}_X(r,\xi) by the involution given by EEE\, \longmapsto\, E^*. We construct an algebraic morphism from this quotient to the moduli space of SL(r,C){\rm SL}(r,{\mathbb C}) opers on XX. Since dimMX(r,ξ)\dim {\mathcal M}_X(r,\xi) coincides with the dimension of the moduli space of SL(r,C){\rm SL}(r,{\mathbb C}) opers, it is natural to ask about the injectivity and surjectivity of this map.
