Abstract
The interaction of a vortex with a circular perforation in a superconducting film is calculated within the Ginzburg-Landau formalism. Due to the local compression of vortex currents and their adhesion to the edge of the perforation, a local repulsive component is added to the generally attractive pinning force. The dependence of the repulsive part on the size of the cavity is examined. The associated deformation of the vortex core and its dynamics is obtained
