The vector bundle E admits a holomorphic projective connection if and only if for every holomorphic direct summand F of E of positive rank, the equality degree(E)=rank(E) = degree(F)=rank(F) holds. Fix a point x0 in X. There is a logarithmic connection on E, singular over x0 with residue ¡d n IdEx0 if and only if theequality degree(E)=rank(E) = degree(F)=rank(F) holds. Fix an integer n ¸ 2, and also ¯x an integer d coprime to n. Let M(n; d) denote the moduli space of logarithmicSL(n;C){connections on X singular of x0 with residue ¡ d nId. The isomorphism class of the variety M(n; d) determines the isomorphism class of the Riemann surface X. %~
