Criteria for existence of stable parahoric SO_n, Sp_n and Spin bundles on PP¹

Let $p: Y \ra X$ be a Galois cover of smooth projective curves over $\CC$ with Galois group $\Gamma$. This paper is devoted to the study of principal orthogonal and symplectic bundles $E$ on $Y$ to which the action of $\Gamma$ on $Y$ lifts. We notably describe them intrinsically in terms of objects defined on $X$ and call these objects parahoric bundles. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the non-emptiness of the moduli of stable (and semi-stable) parahoric special orthogonal, symplectic and spin bundles on the projective line $\PP^1$.
