Thanks! I apologise for my question, but this won't work for a compact R.S minus a finite number of points would it? If it doesn't, then is there an analogue? Also, would the branching index of $S^{'}$ not be $N$ times the number of sheets in $S_1$?
Yeah, thanks. I realised that yesterday (Biquard gives us a projective representation of the fundamental group which then is a representation of an extension of the same).
@Dmitri, I mean : Let $V$ be a stable bundle on a smooth curve $C$ and suppose the parabolic degree (=deg(E) + sum of weights of the flags) is not zero. Then, is it true that one can naturally associate a representation of the central extension of $\pi_1$ of $C$ minus some points to $V$?
