Abstract: We study the gradient flow lines of a Yang-Mills-type functional on the space of gauged holomorphic maps $mathcalH(P,X)$, where $P$ is a principal bundle on a Riemann surface $Sigma$ and $X$ is a K"ahler Hamiltonian $G$-manifold. For compact $Sigma$, possibly with boundary, we prove long time existence of the gradient flow. The flow lines converge to critical points of the functional. So, there is a stratification on $mathcalH(P,X)$ that is invariant under the action of the complexified gauge group. Symplectic vortices are the zeros of the functional we study. When $Sigma$ has boundary, similar to Donaldson's result for the Hermitian Yang-Mills equations, we show that there is only a single stratum - any element of $mathcalH(P,X)$ can be complex gauge transformed to a symplectic vortex. This is a version of Mundet's Hitchin-Kobayashi result on a surface with boundary.
