Abstract:
A justification of the adiabatic principle for the $(2+1)$-dimensional Abelian Higgs model is given. It is shown that near any geodesic on the space of static solutions there exists a solution of the dynamical Euler-Lagrange equations.
Key words and phrases:
Abelian Higgs model of field theory, Manton approximation, adiabatic limit, scattering of vortices.
