We study 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ $U(1)$ Chern-Simons-matter QFT on a cylinder $C\times\mathbb{R}$. The topology of $C$ gives rise to BPS sectors of low-energy solitons known as kinky vortices, which interpolate between (possibly) different vacua…
It is shown that in a magnetic field quantized vortices in a superfluid obtain a real quantized electric charge concentrated in the vortex core. This charge is compensated by an opposite surface charge located at a macroscopic distance from…
Interactions and reconnections of vortices are fundamental in many areas of physics, including classical and quantum fluids where they are central to understanding phenomena such as turbulence. In three-dimensional (3D) superfluids, quantum…
Inspired by direct and indirect maximal center gauge methods which confirm the existence of vortices in lattice calculations and by using the connection formalism, we show that under some appropriate gauge transformations vortices and…
We present a status report on a discrete approach to the the near-equilibrium statistical theory of three-dimensional turbulence, which generalizes earlier work by no longer requiring that the vorticity field be a union of discrete vortex…
We derive a formula for the entropy of two dimensional incompressible inviscid flow, by determining the volume of the space of vorticity distributions with fixed values for the moments Q_k= \int_w(x)^k d^2 x. This space is approximated by a…
We give a reformuation of the Tate conjecture for a surface over a finite field in terms of suitable affine open subsets. We then present three attempts to prove this reformulation, each of them falling short. Interestingly, the last two…
In this paper, we prove \emph{a priori} estimates for some vortex-type equations on compact Riemann surfaces. As applications, we recover existing estimates for the vortex bundle Monge-Amp\`ere equation, prove an existence and uniqueness…
The aim of this paper is to study the finite-dimensional approximations of the nonautonomous lattice dynamical systems of the form $u_{i}'=\nu (u_{i-1}-2u_i+u_{i+1})-\lambda u_{i}+F(u_i)+f_{i}(t)\ (i\in \mathbb Z)\ (*)$. We show that the…
We study a technique for verification of stress and pressure computations on boundaries in flow simulations. We utilize existing experiments to provide validation of the simulations. We show that this approach can reveal critical flaws in…
I point out how coherence vortices, i.e., topological defects in a correlation function, could help explore new physics if they are created in matter waves. Vortex dynamics could be studied in up to six dimensions, and spin topological…
We study dynamics of vortices in solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation $i \partial_t u = \Delta u + \varepsilon^{-2} u (1 - |u|^2)$ on $\mathbb{R}^2$ with nonzero degree at infinity. We prove that vortices move according to the…
In this work we are interested in extreme vortex states leading to the maximum possible growth of palinstrophy in 2D viscous incompressible flows on periodic domains. This study is a part of a broader research effort motivated by the…
Vortices are pervasive in nature, representing the breakdown of laminar fluid flow and hence playing a key role in turbulence. The fluid rotation associated with a vortex can be parameterized by the circulation $\Gamma=\oint {\rm d}{\bf…
Vortex arrays in type-II superconductors admit the translational symmetry of an infinite system. There are cases, however, like ultra-cold trapped Fermi gases and the crust of neutron stars, where finite-size effects make it quite more…
Till date, the sequence of vortices present in the solid corners of steady internal viscous incompressible flows, widely known as Moffatt vortices was thought to be infinite. However, the already existing and most recent geometric theories…
Static vortices close together are studied for two different models in 2-dimen- sional Euclidean space. In a simple model for one complex field an expansion in the parameters describing the relative position of two vortices can be given in…
G\"ortler vortices developing over a concave wall support rapidly oscillating wavelike disturbances through secondary instabilities. Although experiments indicate that the finite-amplitude evolution of these waves acts as a precursor to…
