Here we consider a generalization of the HK equations to describe the dynamics of magnetic vortices within a collective-coordinate approximation. In particular, we analyze in detail the dynamics of a system of three magnetic vortices by a suitable generalization of the solution for three point vortices in an ordinary fluid obtained by Groebli more than a century ago. The significance of our results for the dynamics of ferromagnetic elements is briefly discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-11-12T13:07:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "75.40.Gb", "75.70.Kw", "75.60.Ej" ], "keywords": [ "magnetic vortices", "groebli solution", "point vortices", "ferromagnetic elements", "ordinary fluid" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AIP", "journal": "Journal of Mathematical Physics", "year": 2010, "month": "Apr", "volume": 51, "number": 4, "pages": 2705 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010JMP....51d2705K" } } }
