Abstract. The interactions of N solitons of the vector NLS eq. in adiabatic approximation is modeled by a generalized complex Toda chain (GCTC). A comparative analysis with the scalar N-soliton interactions is given. Additional constraints that have to be imposed on the polarization vectors which make the adiabatic approximation applicable are formulated. The effects of two types of external potentials are discussed.
