  Let L->M be a Hermitian line bundle over a compact manifold. Write S for the
space of all unitary connections in L whose curvatures define symplectic forms
on M and G for the group of unitary bundle isometries of L, which acts on S by
pull-back. The main observation of this note is that S carries a G-invariant
symplectic structure, there is a moment map for the G-action and that this
embeds the components of S as G_0-coadjoint orbits (where G_0 is the component
of the identity). Restricting to the subgroup of G which covers the identity on
M, we see that prescribing the volume form of a symplectic structure can be
seen as finding a zero of a moment map. When M is a K\"ahler manifold, this
gives a moment-map interpretation of the Calabi conjecture. We also describe
some directions for future research based upon the picture outlined here.
