Manton's Vortex Equations and Anti-Self-Dual Connections

Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: We study four of Manton's five vortex equations on a Riemann surface $X$ in relation to anti-self-dual connections. From a solution of each vortex equation, we construct an equivariant holomorphic bundle over $X$$\times$$\mathbb{P}^1$, $X$$\times$$Δ$, or $X$$\times$$\mathbb{C}$, together with an invariant Hermitian or pseudo-Hermitian metric whose associated connection is anti-self-dual. The equivariant structures are given by the actions of $SU(2)$, $SU(1,1)$, and $SE(2)$, respectively. Conversely, we show that an equivariant holomorphic bundle equipped with an invariant (pseudo-)Hermitian metric gives rise to a solution of the corresponding vortex equation when the associated connection is anti-self-dual.
