Title:
Review of symplectic vortex equation

Speaker:
Guangbo Xu

Abstract:
In this talk, I will explain the basic theory of the symplectic vortex equation as the first part of the preparation for the symplectic geometry construction of the gauged linear sigma model (GLSM). If V is a symplectic manifold with a Hamiltonian group action, then analogous to the holomorphic curve equation, one has a first order elliptic system over a Riemann surface. Depending on different choices of domain metrics, one can (in principle) either define Gromov--Witten type invariants on the equivariant cohomology or the cohomology of the quotient space.
