For complex $\phi$ in $U(1)$ gauge theory,
\begin{align}
|\phi_1|^2 + |\phi_2|^2 +\cdots |\phi_N|^2 =r
\end{align}
This equation $|\phi|^2=r$, describes sphere $S^{2N-1}$. Dividing the space of this solution by the gauge group $U(1)$ we obtain that the moduli space for $\phi$ which is $\mathbf{CP}^{N-1}$
This procedure is based on the explanation in Witten's paper of "Phase of $\mathcal{N}=2$ theories in two dimensions". (Above situation corresponds to $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric $U(1)$ gauge theory with $N$ chiral superfields. Here i solve the equation for minimizng potential energy.)
Here what i want to extend this idea to following equations,
(This situation corresponds to $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric $U(1)$ gauge theory with $N$ chiral superfields and $N$ anti-chiral superfields. )
For same complex $\phi$ in $U(1)$ gauge theory, we have
\begin{align}
|\phi_1|^2 + |\phi_2|^2 \cdots +|\phi_N|^2 -|\phi_{N+1}|^2 - |\phi_{N+2}|^2 \cdots - |\phi_{2N}|^2 =r
\end{align}
The results for this moduli space is known as $T^* \mathbf{CP}^{N-1}$ where $T^*$ represents cotangent bundle.
Here i want to know why this space is $T^* \mathbf{CP}^{N-1}$.
Can anyone give some explanation about this?
