Abstract: We extend results on the Hitchin fibration to positive characteristics. We derive from the Verlinde formula the existence of canonical divisors on moduli space of $ G$-bundles, first in characteristic zero and then (using the previous) also in positive characteristics. It remains open to give a geometric definition. We compute the central charge for some geometrically defined divisors.
