The Invariant Symplectic Action and Decay for Vortices

preprint2008arXivOpen access

Abstract

The (local) invariant symplectic action functional $\A$ is associated to a Hamiltonian action of a compact connected Lie group $\G$ on a symplectic manifold (M,ω)(M,ω), endowed with a $\G$-invariant Riemannian metric <⋅,⋅>M<\cdot,\cdot>_M. It is defined on the set of pairs of loops $(x,ξ):S^1\to M\x\Lie\G$ for which xx satisfies some admissibility condition. I prove a sharp isoperimetric inequality for $\A$ if <⋅,⋅>M<\cdot,\cdot>_M is induced by some ωω-compatible and $\G$-invariant almost complex structure JJ, and, as an application, an optimal result about the decay at ∞\infty of symplectic vortices on the half-cylinder $[0,\infty)\x S^1$.
