Abstract
Interaction of a vortex in a circularly polarized superfluid component of a 2d complex vector field with the phase boundary between superflu id phases with opposite signs of polarization leads to a resonant exci tation of a ''capillary'' wave on the boundary. This leads to energy l osses by the vortex-image pair that has to cause its eventual annihila tion.
