Localized magnetic topological solitons with Hopf index of 1 in an unbounded bulk magnet are studied theoretically, starting with the classical micromagnetic Hamiltonian. It is shown analytically that (like Bloch and N\'eel walls in…

We study nonlinear sigma model, especially Skyrme model with twist (twisted Skyrmion string) where twist term $mkz$ is indicated in vortex solution. We study topological and Hopf charges of a twisted Skyrmion string. We show that the Hopf…

We have introduced Faddeev-Niemi type variables for static SU(3) Yang-Mills theory. The variables suggest that a non-linear sigma model whose sigma fields take values in SU(3)/(U(1)xU(1)) and SU(3)/(SU(2)xU(1)) may be relevant to infrared…

The knot model is extended by assuming that the trefoils are realized as either chiral fermions or as scalar bosons. There are then four scalar trefoils with electric charges (0, -1,2/3,-1/3) that may be classified in the same way as the…

Hopfions are a class of three-dimensional (3D) solitons which are built as vortex tori carrying intrinsic twist of the toroidal core. They are characterized by two independent topological charges, \textit{viz}., vorticity $S$ and winding…

Recently non-topological chiral soliton solutions were obtained in a derivatively coupled non-linear Schr\"odinger model in 1+1 dimensions. We extend the analysis to include a more general self-coupling potential (which includes the…

Recent explorations of quantized solitons transport in optical waveguides have thrust nonlinear topological pumping into the spotlight. In this work, we introduce a unified topological invariant applicable across both weakly and strongly…

We construct stable domain walls in a shape of a torus in the Faddeev-Skyrme model with a quadratic potential term admitting two discrete vacua. The phase modulus of the domain wall is twisted P and Q times along the toroidal and poloidal…

Within the model of topological particles (MTP) we determine the interaction energy of monopole pairs, sources and sinks of a Coulombic field. The monopoles are represented by topological solitons of finite size and mass, described by a…

We attempt to go beyond the standard electroweak theory by replacing SU(2) with its q-deformation: SU_q(2). This step introduces new degrees of freedom that we interpret as indicative of non-locality and as a possible basis for a solitonic…
