We present a consistent BPS framework for a generalized Maxwell-Chern-Simons-Higgs model. The overall model, including its self-dual potential, depends on three different functions, h(|{\phi}|,N), w(|{\phi}|) and G(|{\phi}|), which are…
We discuss the low energy effective dynamics of gapless excitations of the mass vortices of systems similar to the Ginzburg-Landau description of superfluid helium-3 in the bulk B phase. Our approach is to determine the vortex solution by…
An explicit formula for the interaction energy of $n$ vortices in the abelian Higgs (or Ginzburg-Landau) model is derived, valid in the regime where all vortices are close to one another. An immediate consequence of this formula is that the…
Popov recently discovered a modified version of the Bogomolny equations for abelian Higgs vortices, and showed they were integrable on a sphere of curvature 1/2. Here we construct a large family of explicit solutions, where the vortex…

A new lattice Boltzmann method for simulating multiphase flows is developed theoretically. The method is adjusted such that its continuum limit is the Navier-Stokes equation, with a driving force derived from the Cahn-Hilliard free energy.…
In this work, we aim to develop a phase-field based lattice Boltzmann (LB) method for simulating two-phase electrohydrodynamics (EHD) flows, which allows for different properties (densities, viscosities, conductivity and permittivity) of…
We develop a semi-classical field method for the study of the weakly interacting Bose gas at finite temperature, which, contrarily to the usual classical field model, does not suffer from an ultraviolet cut-off dependence. We apply the…
A systematic method to obtain the effective Lagrangian on the BPS background in supersymmetric gauge theories is worked out, taking domain walls and vortices as concrete examples. The Lagrangian in terms of the superfields for four…
There has been some recent interest in the study of non-abelian BPS monopoles in the limit of large magnetic charge. Most investigations have used a magnetic bag approximation, in which spherical symmetry is assumed within an abelian…
We study the properties of a single magnetic vortex and magnetic vortex lattices in a generalization of the Abelian Higgs model containing the simplest derivative interaction that preserves the $U(1)$ gauge symmetry of the original model.…
