We consider an array of straight nonlinear waveguides constituting a two-dimensional square lattice, with a few central layers tilted with respect to the rest of the structure. It is shown that such configuration represents a line defect,…
Rogue waves are known to be much more common on jet currents. A possible explanation was put forward in [ [V. Shrira and A. Slunyaev, Nonlinear dynamics of trapped waves on jet currents and rogue waves, Phys. Rev. E 89, 041002, 2014]]: for…

Ultralight dark matter simulations predict condensates with short-range correlation, known as solitons or boson stars, at the centers of dark matter halos. This paper investigates the formation and collapse of dark matter solitons…
In this letter we introduce the concept of stabilized vector solitons as nonlinear waves constructed by addition of mutually incoherent Townes solitons that are stabilized under the effect of a periodic modulation of the nonlinearity. We…
We consider the interplay of repulsive short-range and same-sign long-range interactions in the dynamics of dark solitons, as prototypical coherent nonlinear excitations in a trapped 1D Bose gas. First, the form of the ground state is…

Dark matter particles may be captured by a star and then thermalized in the star's core. At the end of its life a massive star collapses suddenly and a compact object is formed. The dark matter particles redistribute accordingly. In the…
We present the complete history of structure formation in a simple dissipative dark-sector model. The model has only two particles: a dark electron, which is a subdominant component of dark matter, and a dark photon. Dark-electron…
