Abstract

Let $X$ be a non-singular algebraic curve of genus $g\ge 2,\;n\ge 2$ an integer, $\xi$ a line bundle over $X$ of degree $d>2n(g-1)$ with $(n,d)=1$ and ${\cal M}_\xi$ the moduli space of stable bundles of rank $n$ and determinant $\xi$ over $X$ . It is proved that the Picard bundle ${\cal W}_\xi$ is stable with respect to the unique polarisation of ${\cal M}_\xi$ .
