These equations couple a metric over a compact Riemann surface with a hermitian metric over a holomorphic line bundle equipped with a fixed global section --- the Higgs field ---, and have a symplectic interpretation as moment-map equations. As a particular case of the gravitating vortex equations on $\\mathbb{P}^1$, we find the Einstein--Bogomol'nyi equations, previously studied in the theory of cosmic strings in physics. We prove two main results in this paper. Our first main result gives a converse to an existence theorem of Y.
