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…
We present a unified framework to systematically embed complex knotted and linked structures, beyond the torus family, into diverse topological phases, including Hopf insulators, classical spin liquids, topological semimetals, and…
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…
3D topological solitons are marvels of mathematical physics that arise in theoretical models in elementary particle and nuclear physics, condensed matter, and cosmology. A particularly interesting type of them is described by the…
An alternative method to the topological instanton solution for deriving an expression for the topological charge is presented. This alternative method involves the use of relativistic quantum field theory and covariant electrodynamics. In…
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…
Despite its homotopical stability, new relevant dynamics appear in the isotopy class of a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism. We study these new dynamics by identifying homotopically equivalent orbits, obtaining a more complete description of the…
We study the relationship of soliton solutions for electron system with those of the sigma model on the noncommutative space, working directly in the operator formalism. We find that some soliton solutions of the sigma model are also the…
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…
It has been observed that certain classical chains admit topologically protected zero-energy modes that are localized on the boundaries. The static features of such localized modes are captured by linearized equations of motion, but the…
Magnetic hopfions are localized magnetic solitons with non-zero 3D topological charge (Hopf index). Here I present an analytical calculation of the toroidal magnetic hopfion vector potential, emergent magnetic field, the Hopf index, and the…
Recently, we have shown that non-selfdual self-gravitating dyonic fields with magnetic mass generalize the Dirac monopole. The unique topological index, which characterizes the field, is a four dimensional analogue of the famous monopole…
In this note we show that the single soliton solutions known previously in the $1+1$ dimensional affine Toda field theories from a variety of different methods \cite{H1,MM,OTUa,OTUb}, are in fact not the most general single soliton…
