Abstract

We outline a conventional path integral derivation of the transverse force and the friction for a vortex in a superconductor based on the BCS theory. The derivation is valid in both clean and dirty limits at both zero and finite temperatures. The transverse force is found to be precisely as what has been obtained by Ao and Thouless using the Berry's phase method. The friction is essentially the same as the Bardeen and Stephen's result. Errors in some previous representive microscopic derivations are discussed.
