Abstract

The Quillen connection on LMg{\mathcal L} \rightarrow {\mathcal M}_g, where L{\mathcal L}^* is the Hodge line bundle over the moduli stack of smooth complex projective curves curves Mg{\mathcal M}_g, g5g \geq 5, is uniquely determined by the condition that its curvature is the Weil--Petersson form on Mg{\mathcal M}_g. The bundle of holomorphic connections on L{\mathcal L} has a unique holomorphic isomorphism with the bundle on Mg{\mathcal M}_g given by the moduli stack of projective structures. This isomorphism takes the CC^\infty section of the first bundle given by the Quillen connection on L{\mathcal L} to the CC^\infty section of the second bundle given by the uniformization theorem. Therefore, any one of these two sections determines the other uniquely.
