Elliptic Curves in Moduli Space of Stable Bundles of Rank 3

Let $M$ be the moduli space of rank 3 stable bundles with fixed determinant of degree 1 on a smooth projective curve of genus $g\ge 2$. When $C$ is generic, we show that any essential elliptic curve on $M$ has degree (respect to anti-canonical divisor $-K_M$) at least 6, and we give a complete classification for elliptic curves of degree 6, which is not in conformity with Sun’s Conjecture. Moreover, if $g>12$, we show that any elliptic curve passing through the generic point of $M$ has degree at least 18.
