Description
We describe recent progress in understanding the classical and quantum dynamics of vortices in supersymmetric gauge theories. We show how D-branes in string theory can be used to provide a new description of the dynamics of the vortex moduli space. We go on to use this to study the quantum theory of vortex strings in four-dimensional gauge theories. We show how the string knows about the exact quantum spectrum of the strongly coupled gauge theory in which it's embedded. (author)
