A vortex, a circulating flow around a void, is one of the basic topological phenomena in nature. Here we show that vortices generally emerge in spin wave travelling upon topologically nontrivial magnetic texture, due to the transverse…

An exact correspondence is established between mathematical description of the single "elementary vortex" (EV)velocity on the sphere (Zermelo,1902;Bogomolov,1977) and the Dirac magnetic monopole (DMM) vector potential (Dirac, 1931). Similar…
We study the dynamics of $N$ point vortices on a rotating sphere. The Hamiltonian system becomes infinite dimensional due to the non-uniform background vorticity coming from the Coriolis force. We prove that a relative equilibrium formed of…
