We describe oblique half-solitons, a new type of topological defects in a two dimensional spinor Bose Einstein condensate. A realistic protocol based on the optical spin Hall effect is proposed toward their generation within an…
We consider 3D active plane rotators, where the interaction between the spins is of XY-type and where each spin is driven to rotate. For the clock-model, when the spins take N\gg1 possible values, we conjecture that there are two…
