Quantum vortex strings: a review
D Tong - Annals of Physics, 2009 - Elsevier
The quantum worldsheet dynamics of vortex strings contains information about the 4d non-

Non-Abelian vortices of higher winding numbers
We make a detailed study of the moduli space of winding number two (k= 2) axially
symmetric vortices (or equivalently, of coaxial composite of two fundamental vortices) …
