Abstract

We consider Nahm's equations on a bounded open interval with first order poles at the ends. By imposing further boundary conditions, extended moduli spaces are identified with spaces of rational maps from CP1\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^1 to CPn\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^n. Having the residues at one end define sums of irreducible representations of su(2)\mathfrak{su}(2), the dimensions of those summands correspond to holomorphic charge on the rational map side. Technical difficulties arise due to half powers in the boundary conditions. Further, a symplectomorphic identification with moduli spaces corresponding to spaces of rational maps into complete flag varieties is given.
