The Curvature of the Hitchin Connection

Differential Geometry 2016-09-06 v1

Abstract

In this paper we calculate the curvature of the Hitchin connection. We further show that a slight (possibly trivial) modification of the Hitchin connection has curvature equal to an explict given multiple of the Weil-Petersen symplectic form on Teichm\"{u}ller space.
