In pulsating active matter, topological defects are motile despite the absence of any macroscopic flows and microscopic self-propulsion. We reveal that this motility arises from a ratchet effect: the mechanochemical coupling between local…
Ferromagnetic spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates in the broken-axisymmetric phase support polar-core spin vortices (PCVs), which are intimately linked to the nonequilibrium dynamics of the system. For a purely transversely magnetized system,…

We study a fully back-reacted non-abelian vortex solution in an extension of the holographic superconductor setup. The thermodynamic properties of the vortex are computed. We show that, in some regime of parameters, the non-abelian vortex…
We show numerically that a repulsive Bose-Einstein condensate can be driven into implosive dynamics by a direct topological quench. We first realize giant vortices by quasi-adiabatic phase imprinting, and then perform a sudden anti-imprint…
Spin-orbit (SO) coupling can be introduced in a Bose--Einstein condensate (BEC) as a gauge potential acting only in a localized spatial domain. Effect of such a SO "defect" can be understood by transforming the system to the integrable…
