Isomonodromic Deformations and Very Stable Vector Bundles of Rank Two

Abstract

For the universal isomonodromic deformation of an irreducible logarithmic rank two connection over a smooth complex projective curve of genus at least two, consider the family of holomorphic vector bundles over curves underlying this universal deformation. In a previous work we proved that the vector bundle corresponding to a general parameter of this family is stable. Here we prove that the vector bundle corresponding to a general parameter is in fact very stable (it does not admit any nonzero nilpotent Higgs field).
