The coupling of vortices to phonons in a superfluid is a gauge coupling dictated by topology. The density and current response to a moving vortex are computed and contrasted with the standard backflow picture. Exploiting the analogy to (2+1)-dimensional electrodynamics, we compute the effective vortex mass $M(\omega)$ and find it to be logarithmically divergent in the low frequency limit, leading to a super-Ohmic dissipation in response to an oscillating superflow. Numerical integration of the nonlinear Schroedinger equation supports these conclusions. Interaction of vortices and impurities is also discussed.
