A Quantum Kirwan Map: Bubbling and Fredholm Theory for Symplectic Vortices over the Plane
Share this pageFabian Ziltener
Consider a Hamiltonian action of a compact connected Lie
group on a symplectic manifold \((M,\omega)\). Conjecturally,
under suitable assumptions there exists a morphism of cohomological
field theories from the equivariant Gromov-Witten theory of
\((M,\omega)\) to the Gromov-Witten theory of the symplectic
quotient. The morphism should be a deformation of the Kirwan map. The
idea, due to D. A. Salamon, is to define such a deformation by
counting gauge equivalence classes of symplectic vortices over the
complex plane \(\mathbb{C}\).
The present memoir is part of a project whose goal is to make this
definition rigorous. Its main results deal with the symplectically
aspherical case.
