Abstract
We come up with infinite-dimensional prequantum line bundles and moment map interpretations of three different sets of equations—the generalised Monge–Ampère equation, the almost Hitchin system, and the Calabi–Yang–Mills equations. These are all perturbations of already existing equations. Our construction for the generalised Monge–Ampère equation is conditioned on a conjecture from algebraic geometry. In addition, we prove that for small values of the perturbation parameters, some of these equations have solutions.
