The fundamental mode of rotation in quantum fluids is given by a vortex, whose quantized value yields the orbital angular momentum (OAM) per particle. If the vortex is displaced (off-centered) from the reference point for rotation, the…

In this work, we have analytically devised novel vortex solutions in a rotating holographic superfluid. To achieve this result, we have considered a static disc at the AdS boundary and let the superfluid rotate relative to it. This idea has…
