Abstract

We consider filtered holomorphic vector bundles on a compact Riemann surface X equipped with a holomorphic connection satisfying a certain transversality condition with respect to the filtration. If Q is a stable vector bundle of rank r and degree (1genus(X))nr, then any holomorphic connection on the jet bundle Jn(Q) satisfies this transversality condition for the natural filtration of Jn(Q) defined by projections to lower-order jets. The vector bundle Jn(Q) admits holomorphic connection. The main result is the construction of a bijective correspondence between the space of all equivalence classes of holomorphic vector bundles on X with a filtration of length n together with a holomorphic connection satisfying the transversality condition and the space of all isomorphism classes of holomorphic differential operators of order n whose symbol is the identity map.
