We set up general equations of motion for point vortex systems on closed Riemannian surfaces, allowing for the case that the sum of vorticities is not zero and there hence must be counter-vorticity present. The dynamics of global…
We consider pairs of point vortices having circulations $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$ and confined to a two-dimensional surface $S$. In the limit of zero initial separation $\varepsilon$, we prove that they follow a magnetic geodesic in unison,…
We study the dynamics of quantized superfluid vortices on axisymmetric compact surfaces with no holes, where the total vortex charge must vanish and the condition of irrotational flow forbids distributed vorticity. A conformal…
In the present paper a description of a problem of point vortices on a plane and a sphere in the "internal" variables is discussed. The hamiltonian equations of motion of vortices on a plane are built on the Lie-Poisson algebras, and in the…
This article investigates the dynamical behaviours of the $n$-vortex problem with vorticity $\mathbf{\Gamma}$ on a Riemann sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ equipped with an arbitrary metric $g$. From perspectives of Riemannian geometry and symplectic…
We identify the two-dimensional surfaces corresponding to certain solutions of the Liouville equation of importance for mathematical physics, the non-topological Chern-Simons (or Jackiw-Pi) vortex solutions, characterized by an integer $N…
The Equations of motion of vortex sources (examined earlier by Fridman and Polubarinova) are studied, and the problems of their being Hamiltonian and integrable are discussed. A system of two vortex sources and three sources-sinks was…
This is the second of two companion papers dedicated to the investigation of vortex motion on non-orientable surfaces. The first paper of the pair is predominantly concerned with establishing the Hamiltonian approach to systems of point…
We study the dynamics of $N$ point vortices on a rotating sphere. The Hamiltonian system becomes infinite dimensional due to the non-uniform background vorticity coming from the Coriolis force. We prove that a relative equilibrium formed of…
We give an exact quantitative solution for the motion of three vortices of any strength, which Poincar\'e showed to be integrable. The absolute motion of one vortex is generally biperiodic: in uniformly rotating axes, the motion is…
Let $\Sigma$ be a compact manifold without boundary whose first homology is nontrivial. Hodge decomposition of the incompressible Euler's equation in terms of 1-forms yields a coupled PDE-ODE system. The $L^2$-orthogonal components are a…
We investigate the motion of point vortices on the Mobius band and Klein bottle. Since these are non-orientable surfaces, the standard Hamiltonian approach does not apply. We therefore begin by establishing a modified Hamiltonian approach…
We study magnetic vortex-like solutions lying on the spherical surface. The simplest cylindrically symmetric vortex presents two cores (instead of one, like in open surfaces) with same charge, so repealing each other. However, the net…
We derive the exact equation of motion for a vortex in two- and three- dimensional non-relativistic systems governed by the Ginzburg-Landau equation with complex coefficients. The velocity is given in terms of local gradients of the…
We study the Ginzburg-Landau equations in order to describe a two-dimensional superconductor in a bounded domain. Using the properties of a particular integrability point ($\kappa = 1/ \sqrt2$) of these nonlinear equations which allows…
We investigate vortex dipoles on surfaces of variable negative curvature, focusing on a catenoid of arbitrary throat radius as a concrete example. We construct the effective dynamical system including mutual and geometric self-interaction…
We consider a single Abelian Higgs vortex on a surface {\Sigma} whose Gaussian curvature K is small relative to the size of the vortex, and analyse vortex motion by using geodesics on the moduli space of static solutions. The moduli space…
In this work we have found an exact solution for the problem of the movement of a dipole type point vortex in an area of fluid limited by a flat boundary. We also present a solution to the problem of dipole point vortex motion in a right…
This paper considers the existence and stability properties of two-dimensional solitary waves traversing an infinitely deep body of water. We assume that above the water is vacuum, and that the waves are acted upon by gravity with surface…
We present an analysis of the Ginzburg-Landau equations for the description of a two-dimensional superconductor in a bounded domain. Using the properties of a special integrability point of these equations which allows vortex solutions, we…
