Abstract: (APS)
Multivortex solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equations (or, equivalently, of the Abelian Higgs model) are considered for a special choice of parameters. It is shown that for every n there is a 2n-parameter family of n-vortex solutions. It is conjectured that the parameters are just those needed to specify the positions of the vortices and that the vortices behave very much like noninteracting particles.
