The complex eikonal equation in $(3+1)$ dimensions is investigated. It is shown that this equation generates many multi soliton configurations with arbitrary value of the Hopf index. In general, these eikonal hopfions do not have the…

Gauged linear sigma models with C^m-valued scalar fields and gauge group U(1)^d, d \leq m, have soliton solutions of Bogomol'nyi type if a suitably chosen potential for the scalar fields is also included in the Lagrangian. Here such models…
The Hopf index, a topological invariant that quantifies the linking of preimage fibers, is fundamental to the structure and stability of hopfions. In this work, we propose a new mathematical framework for modeling hopfions with high Hopf…
Resonant solitons of the $3\times 3$ operator are studied. The scattering data of this operator contains four transmission coefficients, two in each half complex $\zeta$-plane, where $\zeta$ is the spectral parameter. For anti-hermitian…

In this paper we study a nonlinear magneto-static model on a general domain which is multiply-connected and has $m$ holes, and under a nonlinear relation between magnetic induction $\bold B$ and magnetic field $\bold H$. The equation…
The geometric Hopf invariant of a stable map F is a stable Z_2-equivariant map h(F) such that the stable Z_2-equivariant homotopy class of h(F) is the primary obstruction to F being homotopic to an unstable map. In this paper we express the…
We study (2+1)-dimensional multicomponent spatial vector solitons with a nontrivial topological structure of their constituents, and demonstrate that these solitary waves exhibit a symmetry-breaking instability provided their total…
Hopf solitons in the Skyrme-Faddeev model are string-like topological solitons classified by the integer-valued Hopf charge. In this paper we introduce an approximate description of Hopf solitons in terms of elastic rods. The general form…
We construct numerical solutions for non-topological solitons in three-dimensional U(1)-gauged ${\cal N}=2$ supergravity. We find the region of the solutions showing with the BTZ mass, the angular momentum and the magnetic flux and discuss…
Magnetic hopfions are three-dimensional topological solitons whose static stability has recently been confirmed in experiments, yet their dynamical modes remain largely unexplored. Here we combine micromagnetic simulations and analytical…
