We review the main properties of a supersolid. We describe first the macroscopic equation that satisfies a supersolid based on general arguments and symmetries and show that such solids might exhibit simultaneously or independently both…
We study a supersolid in the context of a Gross-Pitaevskii theory with a non-local effective potential. We employ a homogenisation technique which allows us to calculate the elastic moduli, supersolid fraction and other state variables of…
We study the rotational inertia of a model of supersolid in the frame of the mean field Gross-Pitaevskii theory in one space dimension. We discuss the ground state of the model and the existence of a non classical inertia (NCRI) under…
In this paper we discuss, within the Gross--Pitaevskii framework, superfluidity, soliton nucleation, and instabilities in a non-equilibrium polariton fluid injected by a spatially localized and continuous-wave coherent pump and flowing…
Landau's excitation-based argument for superfluids -- that at temperature $T=0$ the normal fluid density $\rho_{n}$ is zero -- should also apply to supersolids. Further, for a total mass density $\rho$, Leggett argues that the superfluid…
The paper studies the equilibrium configurations of inextensible elastic membranes exhibiting lateral fluidity. Using a continuum description of the membrane's motions based on the surface Navier--Stokes equations with bending forces, the…
Particles of low velocity, travelling without dissipation in a superfluid, can interact and emit sound when they collide. We propose a minimal model in which the equations of motion of the particles, including a short-range repulsive force,…
A key manifestation of superfluidity in liquids and gases is a reduction of the moment of inertia under slow rotations. Non-classical rotational effects have been searched for a long time also for the elusive supersolid phase of matter, in…
We consider a self-gravitating collisionless gas as described by the Vlasov-Poisson or Einstein-Vlasov system or a self-gravitating fluid ball as described by the Euler-Poisson or Einstein-Euler system. We give a simple proof for the finite…

Within mean field Gross-Pitaevskii framework, ultra cold atomic condensates with long range interaction is predicted to have a supersolid like ground state beyond a critical interaction strength. Such mean field supersolid like ground state…
A polycrystalline solid is modelled as an ensemble of random irregular polyhedra filling the entire space occupied by the solid body, leaving no voids or flaws between them. Adjacent grains can slide with a relative velocity proportional to…
Recently, a rich variety of the micro-phenomena of the superfluid passing an obstacle has been observed in the binary mixture of rotating Bose--Einstein condensates (BECs). Among such phenomena, the interaction of dark--bright solitons is…
By imaging single-shot realizations of an organic polariton quantum fluid, we observe the long-sought dynamical instability of non-equilibrium condensates. Without any free parameters, we find an excellent agreement between the experimental…
In this paper, we study the thermo-elastodynamics of nonlinearly viscous solids in the Kelvin-Voigt rheology where both the elastic and the viscous stress tensors comply with the frame-indifference principle. The system features a force…
The Gross-Pitaevskii equation is widely used for vortex dynamics, but finite domains with hard walls or confining potentials distort bulk behavior through vortex-image effects or induced flows. Periodic boundaries reduce wall artifacts yet…
We investigate the superfluid fraction of crystalline stationary states within the framework of mean-field Gross-Pitaevskii theory. Our primary focus is on a two-dimensional system with a non-local soft-core interaction, where the…
The subject of this work is the instability mechanism of simple shear flows, like Hagen-Poiseuille pipe flow, which is a long-standing problem in fluid mechanics [1,2]. A possible analogy with phenomenological theory of ideal plasticity in…
Alternative approach for description of the non-equilibrium phenomena arising in solids at a severe external loading is analyzed. The approach is based on the new form of kinetic equations in terms of the internal and modified free energy.…
Consider the flow of a thin layer of non-Newtonian fluid over a solid surface. I model the case of a viscosity that depends nonlinearly on the shear-rate; power law fluids are an important example, but the analysis here is for general…
