Abstract Let X be a smooth projective complex curve of genus g ≥ 2 and let M X (2,Λ) be the moduli space of semi-stable rank-2 vector bundles over X with fixed determinant Λ. We show that the wobbly locus, i.e. the locus of semi-stable vector bundles admitting a non-zero nilpotent Higgs field, is a union of divisors 𝓦 k ⊂ M X (2,Λ). We show that on one wobbly divisor the set of maximal subbundles is degenerate. We also compute the class of the divisors 𝓦 k in the Picard group of M X (2, Λ).
