The gauged sigma model with target, defined on a Riemann surface, supports static solutions in whichvortices coexist in stable equilibrium withantivortices. Their moduli space is a noncompact complex manifoldof dimensionwhich inherits a natural Kähler metricgoverning the model’s low energy dynamics. This paper presents the first detailed study of, focussing on the geometry close to the boundary divisor. On, rigorous estimates ofclose toDare obtained which imply thathas finite volume and is geodesically incomplete. On, careful numerical analysis and a point-vortex formalism are used to conjecture asymptotic formulae forin the limits of small and large separation. All these results make use of a localization formula, expressingin terms of data at the (anti)vortex positions, which is established for general. For arbitrary compact, a natural compactification of the spaceis proposed in terms of a certain limit of gauged linear sigma models, leading to formulae for its volume and total scalar curvature. The volume formula agrees with the result established for, and allows for a detailed study of the thermodynamics of vortex-antivortex gas mixtures. It is found that the equation of state is independent of the genus of, and that the entropy of mixing is always positive.
