The Berry connection of the Ginzburg-Landau vortices (Q514286)

The main theorem of this paper is concerned with the Berry connection holonomy of a \(\tau\)-vortex principal bundle. Four properties are shown to be true in the limit \(\tau\to\infty\). For the proof some preliminary explanations of the gauge transformations are first given in terms of conjugacy classes of the gauge group, and in terms of a short exact sequence. The proofs use Green functions, gauge actions, partition of unity, Stokes' theorem, Poincaré duality and residue theory. Finally, some large area limits are shown.
