Abstract: In this paper, we prove that the tangent bundle of the moduli space $cS{U}_C(r,d)$ of stable bundles of rank $r>2$ and of fixed determinant of degree $d$ (such that $(r,d)=1$), on a smooth projective curve $C$ is always stable, in the sense of Mumford-Takemoto. This verifies a well-known conjecture, and is related to a conjectural existence of a K"ahler-Einstein metric on Fano varieties with Picard number one.
