The paper addresses the problem of the transverse force (Magnus force) on a vortex in a Galilean invariant quantum Bose liquid. Interaction of quasiparticles (phonons) with a vortex produces an additional transverse force (Iordanskii force). The Iordanskii force is related to the acoustic Aharonov-Bohm effect. Connection of the effective Magnus force with the Berry phase is also discussed.The key role of the Magnus force in vortex dynamics became clear from the very beginning of studying superfluid hydrodynamics. In the pioneer article on the subject Hall and Vinen [2] defined the superfluid Magnus force as a force between a vortex and a superfluid. Therefore it was proportional to the superfluid density ρ s . But in the two-fluid hydrodynamics the superfluid Magnus force is not the only force on the vortex transverse to its velocity: there was also a transverse force between the vortex and quasiparticles moving with respect to the vortex. The transverse force from rotons was found by Lifshitz and Pitaevskii [3] from the quasiclassical scattering theory. Later Iordanskii [4] revealed the transverse force from phonons. The analysis done in Ref.[5] (see also Refs. [6,7]) demonstrated that the Lifshitz-Pitaevskii force for rotons and the Iordanskii force for phonons originate from interference between quasiparticles which move past the vortex on the left and on the right sides with different phase shifts, like in the Aharonov-Bohm effect [8]. Since the phase shift depends on the circulation which is a topological charge for a vortex, this is a clear indication of connection between the transverse quasiparticle force and topology.Later on the analogy between wave scattering by vortex and electron scattering by the magnetic-flux tube (the Aharonov-Bohm effect) was studied in classical hydrodynamics for water surface waves (the acoustic Aharonov-Bohm effect [9,10]). Scattering of the light by a vortex also results in the Aharonov-Bohm interference (the optical Aharonov-Bohm effect [11]). As follows from Ref.[5], the Aharonov-Bohm interference always produces a transverse force on the vortex, or the fluxon. For the original Aharonov-Bohm effect this force is discussed by Shelankov [12].The Magnus force on a vortex in a superconductor was introduced by Nozières and Vinen [13]. The total transverse force on a vortex is responsible for the Hall effect in the mixed state. In superconductors not only quasiparticles, but also impurities produce an additional transverse force on the vortex. A reader can find discussion of this problem in the review by Kopnin [14].Despite a lot of work done to understand and calculate the Magnus force, it remained to be a controversial issue. Ao and Thouless [15] pointed out a connection of the Magnus force with the Berry phase [16] which is the phase variation of the quantum-mechanical wave function resulting from transport of the vortex round a close loop. From the Berry-phase analysis Ao and Thouless concluded that the effective Magnus force is proportional to the
