We consider the quantization of chiral solitons with baryon number $B>1$. Classical solitons are obtained within the framework of a variational approach. From the form of the soliton solution it can be seen that besides the group of…
We address the question whether one can identify instantons in direct numerical simulations of the stochastically driven Burgers equation. For this purpose, we first solve the instanton equations using the Chernykh-Stepanov method [Phys.…
In this paper, the authors give an unknotting sequence for torus knots and also provide unknotting numbers of $_n14_{17191}, \ _n14_{14274}, \ _n14_{18351}, \ _n14_{24498}$ and some other knots from the knot table of Hoste-Thistlethwite.
Every torus knot can be represented as a Fourier-(1,1,2) knot which is the simplest possible Fourier representation for such a knot. This answers a question of Kauffman and confirms the conjecture made by Boocher, Daigle, Hoste and Zheng.…
We are interested in the problem of existence of soliton-like solutions for the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation. In particular we study some necessary and sufficient conditions on the nonlinear term to obtain solitons of a given charge. We…
Necessary conditions for a soliton on a torus $M=\R^m/\Lambda$ to be a soliton crystal, that is, a spatially periodic array of topological solitons in stable equilibrium, are derived. The stress tensor of the soliton must be $L^2$…
We present a new exact solution for the twist of an asymmetric thin elastic rods. The shape of such rods is described by the static Kirchhoff equations. In the case of constant curvatire and torsion the twist of the asymmetric rod…
We study $H$-instanton bundles on the infinite family of smooth three-dimensional varieties $X_e=\mathbb{P}(\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^2} \oplus \mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^2}(e))$, for $e \geq 0$. We provide two distinct monadic descriptions of…
In contrast to ensembles of singular gauge instantons, which are well known to fail to produce confinement, it is shown that effective theories based on ensembles of merons or regular gauge instantons do produce confinement. Furthermore,…
We suggest to use the Hall-Littlewood version of Rosso-Jones formula to define the germs of $p$-adic HOMFLY-PT polynomials for torus knots $[m,n]$, which possess at least the $[m,n] \longleftrightarrow [n,m]$ topological invariance. This…
Numerical simulations indicate that there exist conformations of the unknot, tied on a finite piece of rope, entangled in such a manner, that they cannot be disentangled to the torus conformation without cutting the rope. The simplest…
We report on analytic and numerical studies of spin textures in quantum Hall systems using a long-wavelength effective action for the magnetic degrees of freedom derived previously. The majority of our results concern skyrmions or solitons…
In this note, we construct a chord index homomorphism from a subgroup of $H_1(\Sigma, \mathbb{Z})$ to the group of chord indices of a knot $K$ in $\Sigma\times I$. Some knot invariants derived from this homomorphism are discussed.
We present and study new mechanism of interaction between the solitons based on the exchange interaction mediated by the localized fermion states. As particular examples, we consider solutions of simple 1+1 dimensional scalar field theories…
We associate several invariants to a knot in an integer homology 3-sphere using $SU(2)$ singular instanton gauge theory. There is a space of framed singular connections for such a knot, equipped with a circle action and an equivariant…
The sine-Gordon model is applied to describe the multiphonon giant resonances.
This is a review of the QCD instanton vacuum. After introducing instantons and their physical meaning, I show that the number of instantons in the vacuum fluctuates in accordance with the QCD trace anomaly. The main properties of the…
We calculate the instanton corrections to energy spectra of one-dimensional quantum mechanical oscillators to all orders and unify them in a closed form transseries description. Using alien calculus, we clarify the resurgent structure of…
We often observe that waves on the surface of shallow water form complex web-like patterns. They are examples of nonlinear waves, and these patterns are generated by nonlinear interactions among several obliquely propagating waves. In this…
In this paper, we develop the dressing method to study the exact solutions for the vector sine-Gordon equation. The explicit formulas for one kink and one breather are derived. The method can be used to construct multi-soliton solutions.…
