چکیده
We study solutions of Ginzburg-Landau-type evolution equations (both dissipative and Hamiltonian) with initial data representing collections of widely-spaced vortices. We show that for long times, the solutions continue to describe collections of vortices, and we identify (to leading order in the vortex separation) the dynamical system describing the motion of the vortex centres (effective dynamics).

A pr 1 99 9 The stability of magnetic vortices ∗
We study the linearized stability of n-vortex (n ∈ Z) solutions of the magnetic Ginzburg-Landau (or Abelian Higgs) equations. We prove that the fundamental vortices (n = ±1) are stable for all values of the coupling constant, λ, and we prove that the higher-degree vortices (|n| ≥ 2) are stable for λ < 1, and unstable for λ > 1. This resolves a long-standing conjecture (see, eg, [JT]).

W e study the linearized stability of -vortex ( ) solutions of the magnetic Ginzb urg–Landau (or Abelian Higgs) equations. We prove that the fundamental vortices ( 1) are stable for all values of the coupling constant, , and we prove that the higher -degree vortices ( 2) are stable for 1, and unstable for 1. This resolves a long-standing conjecture (see, eg, [JT]).
متن کاملVortices and impurities
We describe the BPS dynamics of vortices in the presence of impurities. We argue that a moduli space of solitons survives the addition of both electric and magnetic impurities. However, dynamics on the moduli space is altered. In the case of electric impurities, the metric remains unchanged but the dynamics is accompanied by a connection term, acting as an effective magnetic field over the modu...
متن کاملPotential landscape of a clean superconductor mapped by pm/s-moving vortices
We investigated vortex dynamics in a pristine sample of type II superconductor NbSe2 by scanning tunneling microscopy at 4.2 K. The decay of the magnetic field at ∼ nT/s in our superconducting magnet induced the motion of vortices at ∼ pm/s. Characteristics of the trajectories and speed variations of the moving vortices clearly revealed the potential landscape of vortices in the sample. Our vor...
متن کاملThe Dynamics of Chern-Simons Vortices
We study vortex dynamics in three-dimensional theories with ChernSimons interactions. The dynamics is governed by motion on the moduli space M in the presence of a magnetic field. For Abelian vortices, the magnetic field is shown to be the Ricci form over M; for non-Abelian vortices, it is the first Chern character of a suitable index bundle. We derive these results by integrating out massive f...
