Strong-coupling convergence conjecture for abelian vortex moduli metrics

Let MM be a Kähler manifold, let XX be a toric target, and let Hξ\mathcal{H}_\xi be the space of holomorphic maps MXM\rightarrow X associated with parameter ξ\xi. Let Mξ\mathcal{M}_\xi be the corresponding vortex moduli space, equipped with its L2L^2-metric, and use the embedding HξMξ\mathcal{H}_\xi\hookrightarrow\mathcal{M}_\xi. The space Hξ\mathcal{H}_\xi has its natural L2L^2-metric determined by the metric on MM and the metric on XX. Strong-coupling convergence conjecture. The metric induced on Hξ\mathcal{H}_\xi from the vortex metric on Mξ\mathcal{M}_\xi converges pointwise to the natural L2L^2-metric on Hξ\mathcal{H}_\xi as the gauge coupling satisfies e2e^2\rightarrow\infty. This conjecture concerns the comparison between vortex moduli metrics and the mapping-space metric in the strong-coupling limit; it has been proved for maps from Riemann surfaces to projective space, but the higher-dimensional case remains open.
