Noncommutative Geometry Seminar

The Berry Connection of the Ginzburg-Landau Vortices
Akos Nagy, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo,

In this talk, I will introduce the 2-dimensional Ginzburg-Landau vortices from both the mathematical and the physical point of view. I will then establish asymptotic formulas for the tangent vectors of the vortex moduli space using theorems of Taubes and Bradlow. Finally, I will compute the corresponding Berry phase in the large volume limit.
