摘要：
This paper discusses the Aharonov-Bohm vortex-vortex scattering that exists when a gauge group G breaks to a discrete non-abelian group H through the formation of a Higgs condensate. An exact path integral formulation is presented for the N-vortex system. Complications that arise when N greater-than-or-equal-to 3 are discussed. It is found that non-abelian vortices obey exotic statistics. Similarities between the many-non-abelian-vortex system and the many-anyon system are discussed.
