Abstract

We develop some cohomological tools for the study of the local geometry of moduli and parameter spaces in complex Algebraic Geometry. Notably, we develop canonical formulae for the differential operators of arbitrary order and their natural action on suitable `natural' modules (for example, functions); in particular, we obtain a formula, in terms of the moduli problem, for the Lie bracket of vector fields on a moduli space. As an application, we obtain another construction and proof of flatness for the familiar KZW or Hitchin connection on moduli spaces of curves.
