We examine the existence and stability of nonlinear discrete vortex solitons in a square lattice when the standard discrete Laplacian is replaced by a fractional version. This creates a new, effective site-energy term, and a coupling among…

The head-on collision of two vortex rings can produce diverse phenomena: a tiara of secondary rings, vortex sheets which flatten and interact iteratively, or the violent disintegration of the rings into a turbulent cloud. The outcome of the…

We compare dynamical and energetical stability criteria for vortex rings. It is argued that vortex rings will be intrinsically unstable against perturbations with short wavelengths below a critical wavelength, because the canonical vortex…
We prove the existence of knotted and linked thin vortex tubes for steady solutions to the incompressible Euler equation in R^3. More precisely, given a finite collection of (possibly linked and knotted) disjoint thin tubes in R^3, we show…
In this paper we show that the non-alternating torus knots are homologically thick, i.e. that their Khovanov homology occupies at least three diagonals. Furthermore, we show that we can reduce the number of full twists of the torus knot…
We extend the list of known band structure topologies to include a large family of hyperbolic nodal links and knots, occurring both in conventional Hermitian systems where their stability relies on discrete symmetries, and in the…
