A relativistic model of a heat conducting collapsing star, which includes thermal pre-relaxation processes, is presented. Particular attention is paid to the influence of a given parameter defined in terms of thermodynamic variables, on the…
A vortex line passes through as many pinning centers as possible on its way from one extremety of the superconductor to the other at the expense of increasing its self-energy. In the framework of the Ginzburg-Landau theory we study the…

We investigate the properties of single vortices and of vortex lattice in a rotating dipolar condensate. We show that vortices in this system possess many novel features induced by the long-range anisotropic dipolar interaction between…
It is shown that vortices in linearly polarized polariton condensates in planar semiconductor microcavities carry two winding numbers (k,m). These numbers can be either integer or half-integer simultaneously. Four half-integer vortices…

The vortex in the $(2+1)$-dimensional $\mathrm{O}(2)$ model is studied via numerical simulations in a fully non-perturbative lattice regularization. We compute the vortex condensate and susceptibility to determine its critical exponents and…
We show how both the ellipticity $\eta$ and degree of polarization $\textit{P}$ influences the extraordinary optical chirality properties of non-paraxial vortex beams. We find that, in stark contrast to paraxial optics and non-vortex modes,…
Quantised vortices are remarkable manifestations on a macroscopic scale of the coherent nature of quantum fluids, and the study of their properties is of fundamental importance for the understanding of this peculiar state of matter.…
We study theoretically the simultaneous effect of a regular and a random pinning potentials on the vortex lattice structure at filling factor of 1. This structure is determined by a competition between the square symmetry of regular pinning…
Half-vortices have been recently shown to be the elementary topological defects supported by a spinor cavity exciton-polaritons condensates with spin anisotropic interactions (Y. G. Rubo, Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 106401 (2007)). A half vortex…
This paper studies the non-spherical perturbations of the continuously self-similar critical solution of the gravitational collapse of a massless scalar field (the Roberts solution). The exact analysis of the perturbation equations reveals…
Corrections $\sim \alpha^2 $ to the positronium decay rate, induced by one--loop vacuum polarization diagram, are calculated. Their relative values are $0.4468(3)(\alpha/\pi)^2$ for para- and $0.960(3)(\alpha/\pi)^2$ for orthopositronium.
The equilibrium behavior of vortices in the classical two-dimensional (2D) XY model with uncorrelated random phase shifts is investigated. The model describes Josephson-Junction arrays with positional disorder, and has ramifications in a…
Ginzburg-Landau vortices in superconductors attract or repel depending on whether the value of the coupling constant is less than 1 or larger than 1. At critical coupling it was previously observed that a strongly localised magnetic…
Recently new topological phase of superfluid $^3$He has been discovered -- the $\beta$ phase, which is obtained by strong polarization of the nematic polar phase. We consider half-quantum vortices, which are formed in rotating cryostat, and…
We present simulation results of the moving Bragg glass regime of a driven two-dimensional vortex system in the presence of a smoothly varying weak pinning potential. We study the critical transverse force and (i) demonstrate that it can be…
Vortices are screw phase dislocations associated with helicoidal wave-fronts. In nonlinear optics, vortices arise as singular solutions to the phase-intensity equations of geometric optics. They exist for a general class of nonlinear…
The tilt modulus of a defective Abrikosov vortex lattice pinned by material line defects is computed using the boson analogy. It tends to infinity at long wavelength, which yields a Bose glass state that is robust to the addition of weak…
Emergence of singularity of vorticity at a single point, not related to any symmetry of the initial distribution, has been demonstrated numerically for the first time. Behavior of the maximum of vorticity near the point of collapse closely…
