Abstract: Quite often the zero mode dynamics on solitonic vortices are described by a non-conformal effective world-sheet sigma model (WSSM). We address the problem of solitonic string quantization in this case. As well-known, only crfitical strings with superconformal WSSMs are self-consistent in ultra-violet (UV) domain. Thus, we look for the appropriate UV completion of the low-energy non-conformal WSSM. We ague that for the solitonic strings supported in well-defined bulk theories the UV complete WSSM has a UV fixed point which can be used for string quantization. As an example, we consider BPS non-Abelian vortices supported by four-dimensional (4D)

two SQCD with the gauge group U$(N)$ and $N_f$ quark multiplets where $N_{f}geN$. In addition to translational moduli the non-Abelian vortex under consideration carries orientational and size moduli. Their low-energy dynamics are described by a two-dimensional

twot supersymmetric weighted model, namely, $mathbbWCP(N,N_f-N)$. Given our UV completion of this WSSM we find its UV fixed point. The latter defines a superconformal WSSM. We observe two cases in which this conformal WSSM, combined with the free theory for four translational moduli, has ten-dimensional target space required for superstrings to be critical.
