Moduli Space Dynamics of a First-Order Vortex System
نویسنده
چکیده
The moduli space dynamics of vortices in the Jackiw-Pi model where a non-relativistic Schrödinger field couples minimally to Chern-Simons gauge field, is considered. It is shown that the difficulties in direct application of Manton’s method to obtain a moduli-space metric in the first order system can be circumvented by turning the Lagrangian into a second order system. We obtain exact metrics for some simple cases and describe how the vortices respond to an external U(1) field. We then construct an effective Lagrangian describing dynamics of the vortices. In addition, we clarify strong-weak coupling duality between fundamental particles and vortices. (PACS: 11.15.Kc, 11.27.+d, 03.65.Ca)

Conservation Laws in a First Order Dynamical System of Vortices
Gauge invariant conservation laws for the linear and angular momenta are studied in a certain 2+1 dimensional first order dynamical model of vortices in superconductivity. In analogy with fluid vortices it is possible to express the linear and angular momenta as low moments of vorticity. The conservation laws are compared with those obtained in the moduli space approximation for vortex dynamics...
متن کاملSchrödinger-Chern-Simons Vortex Dynamics
We study the motion of vortices in the planar Ginzburg-Landau model with Schrödinger-Chern-Simons dynamics. We compare the moduli space approximation with the results of numerical simulations of the full field theory and find that there is agreement if the coupling constant is very close to the critical value separating Type I from Type II superconductors. However, there are significant qualita...
متن کاملQuantum Chern–Simons vortices on a sphere
The quantisation of the reduced first-order dynamics of the nonrelativistic model for Chern– Simons vortices introduced by Manton is studied on a sphere of given radius. We perform geometric quantisation on the moduli space of static solutions, using a Kähler polarisation, to construct the quantum Hilbert space. Its dimension is related to the volume of the moduli space in the usual classical l...
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...
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...
