Cone spherical metrics and stable vector bundles

Abstract

Cone spherical metrics are conformal metrics with constant curvature one and finitely many conical singularities on compact Riemann surfaces. A cone spherical metric is called irreducible if each developing map of the metric does not have monodromy lying in $\mathrm{U}(1)$. We establish on compact Riemann surfaces of positive genera a correspondence between irreducible cone spherical metrics with cone angles being integral multiples of $2\pi$ and line subbundles of rank two stable vector bundles. Then we are motivated by it to prove a theorem of Lange-type that there always exists a stable extension of $L^{\ast }$ by $L$, for $L$ being a line bundle of negative degree on each compact Riemann surface of genus greater than one. At last, as an application of these two results, we obtain a new class of irreducible spherical metrics with cone angles being integral multiples of $2\pi$ on each compact Riemann surface of genus greater than one
