The adiabatic limit conjecture for Hamiltonian vortices

About 27 years old · traced to

Let μ:M→g\mu:M\to\mathfrak{g} be proper, let 00 be a regular value of μ\mu, assume that μ−1(0)\mu^{-1}(0) is nonempty, and suppose that G\mathrm{G} acts freely on μ−1(0)\mu^{-1}(0). For Bˉ∈H2(M//G;Z)\bar B\in H_2(M/\mskip-6mu/\mathrm{G};\mathbb{Z}) and α1,…,αk∈HG∗(M;Z)\alpha_1,\dots,\alpha_k\in H^*_{\mathrm{G}}(M;\mathbb{Z}), let B∈H2G(M;Z)B\in H^{\mathrm{G}}_2(M;\mathbb{Z}) be the image of Bˉ\bar B under the homomorphism induced by μ−1(0)↪M\mu^{-1}(0)\hookrightarrow M, and let αˉi∈H∗(M//G;Z)\bar\alpha_i\in H^*(M/\mskip-6mu/\mathrm{G};\mathbb{Z}) be the image of αi\alpha_i under the corresponding homomorphism. Adiabatic limit conjecture. One has

ΦB,Σ,kM,μ(1,α1,…,αk)=GWBˉ,Σ,kM//G(αˉ1,…,αˉk).\Phi_{B,\Sigma,k}^{M,\mu}(1,\alpha_1,\dots,\alpha_k)={\rm GW}_{\bar B,\Sigma,k}^{M/\mskip-6mu/\mathrm{G}}(\bar\alpha_1,\dots,\bar\alpha_k).

Here 1∈H0(A/G)1\in H^0(\mathcal{A}/\mathcal{G}). The conjecture identifies the Hamiltonian gauge-theoretic invariants with Gromov--Witten invariants of the Marsden--Weinstein quotient in the adiabatic limit; the source indicates that it was expected to follow from the correspondence between solutions for sufficiently small adiabatic parameter and holomorphic curves in the quotient, at least when the quotient is semi-positive or weakly monotone.
