Ginzburg-Landau type equations are models for superconductivity, superfluidity, Bose-Einstein condensation, etc. A crucial feature is the presence of quantized vortices, which are topological zeroes of the complex-valued solutions. We will present a new result on the derivation of a mean-field limit equation for the dynamics of many vortices starting from the parabolic Ginzburg-Landau equation or the Gross-Pitaevskii (=Schrodinger Ginzburg-Landau) equation.
