We present the vortex filament (or localized induction approximation) equation in any dimension. For an arbitrary n ≥ 3 the evolution of vorticity supported on vortex membranes of codimension 2 in R n is described by the skew (or binormal) mean-curvature flow, which generalises to any dimension the classical binormal equation in R 3 . This paper is a brief summary of the results in The vortex filament (or binormal) equation is the evolution equationof an arc-length parametrized space curve γ(·, t) ⊂ R 3 , where γ := ∂γ/∂θ. For an arbitrary parametrisation the filament equation reads ∂ t γ = k · b, where k and b = t × n stand, respectively, for the curvature value and binormal unit vector of the curve γ at the corresponding point. This binormal equation is known to be Hamiltonian with the Hamiltonian function given by the length functional H(γ) = length(γ) = γ γ (θ) dθ and relative to the Marsden-Weinstein symplectic structure on non-parametrized oriented space curves in R 3 , see e.g. [2,5]. At a curve γ this symplectic structure iswhere V and W are two vector fields attached to the curve γ and regarded as variations of this curve, while the volume form μ is evaluated on the three vectors V, W . Equivalently, the Marsden-Weinstein symplectic structure can be defined by means of the operator J of almost complex structure on curves: any variation V is rotated by the *
