Existence of abelian BPS vortices on a manifold with boundary satisfying Neumann boundary conditions is proved. Numeric solutions are constructed on the Euclidean disk, and the L^2-metric of the moduli space of one vortex located at the interior of a rotationally symmetry disk is studied. The results presented extend previous work of Manton and Zhao on quotients of surfaces that admit a reflection.
We study a family of metrics on Euclidean space that generalize the left-invariant metric of the SOL group and the metric of the logarithmic model of Hyperbolic space. Suppose G is a connected, simply-connected, Heintze group of Abelian type with diagonalizable derivation or the horospherical product of two such groups. In this scenario, G is isometric to Euclidean space with a metric of the type considered. We have derived a formula for the volume entropy of metrics in this family and used it to solve a conjecture related to a family of 3-manifolds that interpolates between the SOL group and hyperbolic space.
