A novel way to create a band structure of the quasienergy spectrum for driven systems is proposed based on the discrete symmetry in phase space. The system, e.g., an ion or ultracold atom trapped in a potential, shows no spatial…
The reduced O(3)-sigma model with an O(3)->O(2) symmetry breaking potential is considered with an additional Skyrmionic term, i.e. a totally antisymmetric quartic term in the field derivatives. This Skyrme term does not affect the classical…
The two most popular candidates for dark energy, i.e. a cosmological constant and quintessence, are very difficult to distinguish observationally, mostly because the quintessence field does not have sizable fluctuations. We study a scalar…

We analyze the mechanism of condensation of orientational moduli (as introduced in [25]) on multi-Skyrmionic configurations of the four-dimensional Skyrme model. The present analysis reveals interesting novel features. First of all, the…
We discuss the low-energy physics which arises on stacks of squashed brane solutions of $SU(N)$ ${\cal N}=4$ SYM, deformed by a cubic soft SUSY breaking potential. A brane configuration is found which leads to a low-energy physics similar…
We examine the stability of vortex-like configuration of magnetization in magnetic materials, so-called the magnetic skyrmion. These correspond to critical points of the Landau-Lifshitz energy with the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM)…
The low energy limit of QCD admits (crystals of) superconducting Baryonic tubes at finite density. We begin with the Maxwell-gauged Skyrme model in (3+1)-dimensions (which is the low energy limit of QCD in the leading order of the large N…

Using atomistic simulations, we show that new types of skyrmion states called skyrmion molecular crystals and skyrmion superlattices can be realized on triangular substrates when there are two or three skyrmions per substrate minimum. We…
Exact configurations of the four dimensional Skyrme model are presented. The static configurations have the profile which behaves as a kink and, consequently, the corresponding energy momentum tensor describes a domain wall. Furthermore, a…
Magnetic systems are an exciting realm of study that is being explored on smaller and smaller scales. One extremely interesting magnetic state that has gained momentum in recent years is the skyrmionic state. It is characterized by a vortex…
Almost all the polymer crystals have several polymorphic modifications. Their structure and existence conditions, as well as transitions between them are not understood even in the case of the 'model' polymer polyethylene (PE). For analysis…
A chain of singly-charged particles, confined by a harmonic potential, exhibits a sudden transition to a zigzag configuration when the radial potential reaches a critical value, depending on the particle number. This structural change is a…
We have re-investigated the crystal structure of a spinel type CuIr2S4 at low temperatures using a single-crystal in a synchrotron radiation x-ray diffraction experiment. The crystal structure of the low-temperature phase of CuIr2S4 has…
When the charge density in a crystal or a quasicrystal is reconstructed from its Fourier modes, the global minimum value of the density is sensitively dependent on the relative phases of the modes. The set of phases that maximizes the value…
We show that the cusp-like structure in the nuclear symmetry energy, a consequence of topology change, visible in the skyrmion lattice description of dense matter is extremely robust. It is present in the Skyrme model -- with the pion field…
