%0 Journal Article %T Deformations of symplectic vortices %A Eduardo Gonzalez %A Chris Woodward %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %X We prove a gluing theorem for a symplectic vortex on a compact complex curve and a collection of holomorphic sphere bubbles. Using the theorem we show that the moduli space of regular stable symplectic vortices on a fixed curve with varying markings has the structure of a stratified-smooth topological orbifold. In addition, we show that the moduli space has a non-canonical $C^1$-orbifold structure. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0811.3711v3
