We use the Hopf mapping to construct a magnetic configuration consisting of closed field lines, each of which is linked with all the other ones. We obtain in this way a solution of the equations of magnetohydrodynamics of an ideal…
In theories where spacetime is a direct product of Minkowski space ($M^4$) and a d dimensional compact space ($K^d$), there can exist topological solitons that simultaneously wind around $R^3$ (or $R^2$ or $R^1$) in $M^4$ and the compact…
We study the topological phase of bright soliton with arbitrary velocity under the self-steepening effect. Such topological phase can be described by the topological vector potential and effective magnetic field. We find that the point-like…

Different from previous scenarios that topological magnons emerge in local spin models, we propose an alternative that itinerant electron magnets can host topological magnons. A one-dimensional Tasaki model with a flat band is considered as…

We consider a Froehlich-type Hamiltonian on a hexagonal lattice. Aiming to describe nanotubes, we choose this 2-dimensional lattice to be periodic and to have a large extension in one (x) direction and a small extension in the other (y)…
Topological magnon modes are expected to be useful for novel applications such as robust information propagation, since they are immune to backscattering and robust against disorder. Although there are several of theoretical proposals for…
In the present work we discuss non-linear physics problems such as Nielsen-Olesen strings, superconducting bosonic straight strings and static vortex rings. We start with a toy model. We search for antiperiodic solitons of the Goldstone…
Topological phases of matter are classified based on symmetries, with nonsymmorphic symmetries like glide reflections and screw rotations being of particular importance in the classification. In contrast to extensively studied glide…
Non-Hermitian systems have been discussed mostly in the context of open systems and nonequilibrium. Recent experimental progress is much from optical, cold-atomic, and classical platforms due to the vast tunability and clear identification…
