Quillen connection and the uniformization of Riemann surfaces


Abstract in English

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