A symplectic analogue of quasimaps via vortices

Abstract: We consider Riemann surfaces obtained from nodal curves with infinite cylinders in the place of nodal and marked points. The space of finite energy vortices defined on such surfaces has a compactification. This compactified space is homeomorphic to the moduli space of quasimaps defined by Ciocan-Fontanine, Kim and Maulik.
