We establish the stability of a pair of Hill's spherical vortices moving away from each other in 3D incompressible axisymmetric Euler equations without swirl. Each vortex in the pair propagates away from its odd-symmetric counterpart, while…

A non-relativistic scalar field coupled minimally to electromagnetism supports in the presence of a homogeneous background electric charge density the existence of smooth, finite-energy topologically stable flux vortices. The static…
A method for testing $G_\mu$-stability of relative equilibria in Hamiltonian systems of the form "kinetic + potential energy" is presented. This method extends the Reduced Energy-Momentum Method of Simo et al. to the case of non-free group…
Adding energy to a system through transient stirring usually leads to more disorder. In contrast, point-like vortices in a bounded two-dimensional fluid are predicted to reorder above a certain energy, forming persistent vortex clusters.…
We consider a new system of differential equations which is at the same time gradient and locally Hamiltonian. It is obtained by just replacing a factor in the equations of interaction for N point vortices, and it is interpreted as an…
We examine swimmers comprising of two rigid spheres which oscillate periodically along their axis of symmetry, considering both when the oscillation is in phase and anti-phase, and study the effects of fluid viscoelasticity on their net…

We prove the existence of critical points of the $N$-vortex Hamiltonian $H_\Omega (x_1,\ldots, x_N) =\sum\limits^N_{i=1}\Gamma^2_i h(x_i) + \sum\limits_{i,j=1\atop j\not= k}^N…
We predict solitary vortices in quasi-planar condensates of dipolar atoms, polarized parallel to the confinement direction, with the effective sign of the dipole-dipole interaction inverted by means of a rapidly rotating field. Energy…
We discuss the existence of equilibrium configurations for the Hamiltonian point-vortex model on a closed surface $\Sigma$. The topological properties of $\Sigma$ determine the occurrence of three distinct situations, corresponding to…

We present the Hamiltonian formalism for the Euler equation of symplectic fluids, introduce symplectic vorticity, and study related invariants. In particular, this allows one to extend D.Ebin's long-time existence result for geodesics on…
We consider a prototypical dynamical lattice model, namely, the discrete nonlinear Schroedinger equation on nonsquare lattice geometries. We present a systematic classification of the solutions that arise in principal six-lattice-site and…
A review is given of some well-known and some recent results for two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) solitons, with emphasis on states carrying embedded vorticity. Unlike typically stable 1D solitons, 2D and 3D ones are vulnerable to…
Vortices are found in a fermion system with repulsive dipole-dipole interactions, trapped by a rotating quasi-two-dimensional harmonic oscillator potential. Such systems have much in common with electrons in quantum dots, where rotation is…
