Abstract
Using the space of holomorphic symmetric tensors on the moduli space of stable bundles over a Riemann surface we construct a projectively flat connection on a vector bundle over Teichmüller space. The fibre of the vector bundle consists of the global sections of a power of the determinant bundle on the moduli space. Both Dolbeault and Čech techniques are used.
