AB The present work aims to study the dynamics of a particular type of topological soliton called vortex. This solution is present in various theoretical models, depending on the application to be studied. We will specffically consider the Abelian-Higgs model. Taking this model as a basis, we will study various modifications of this model, either by adding new couplings or by including both, magnetic and Higgs impurities. We will compute the metric on a submanifold of the space of field configurations, called the moduli space, for each of these generalized models. Such a submanifold will play a crucial role in the study of the dynamics of solitons, since it will provide general properties of the dynamics without the use of full numerical simulations. As in all the previous cases only the translational degrees of freedom will be considered, we will finally qualitatively analyse the dynamics of the vortices in the standard Abelian-Higgs model when some of their internal degrees of freedom have been excited.
