We study theoretically Bloch oscillations of half-matter, half-light quasi-particles: exciton-polaritons. We propose an original structure for the observation of this phenomenon despite the constraints imposed by the relatively short…
Remarkable simplification arises from considering vortex equations in the large winding limit. This was recently used in [1] to display all sorts of vortex zeromodes, the orientational, translational, fermionic as well as semi-local, and to…

We demonstrate that families of vortex solitons are possible in a bi-dispersive three-dimensional nonlinear Schrodinger equation. These solutions can be considered as extensions of two-dimensional dark vortex solitons which, along the third…
We study the modular symmetry in magnetized compactifications. The zero-modes with different Scherk-Schwarz phases transform each other. A generic model does not include modes with all the Scherk-Schwarz phases. Incomplete multiplet…
In this article we present an analytical two-component model for pulsar rotational dynamics. Under the assumption of axial symmetry, implemented by a paraxial array of straight vortices that thread the entire neutron superfluid, we are able…
The pressure-driven inertial collapse of a cylindrical void in an inviscid liquid is an integrable, Hamiltonian system that forms a finite-time singularity as the radius of the void collapses to zero. Here it is shown that when the natural…
We start from a Lorentz non-invariant Abelian-Higgs model in 1+3 dimensions, and carry out its dimensional reduction to $D=1+2$. The planar model resulting thereof is composed by a Maxwell-Chern-Simons-Proca gauge sector, a massive scalar…
We predict the existence and address the stability of two-dimensional surface solitons featuring topologically complex shapes, including dipoles, vortices, and bound states of vortex solitons, at the interface of nonlocal thermal media.…
Vortex dynamics in superfluids is investigated in the framework of the nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation. The natural motion of the vortex is of cyclotron type, whose frequency is found to be on the order of phonon velocity divided by the…
We introduce a three-dimensional (3D) model of optical media with the quadratic ($\chi ^{(2)}$) nonlinearity and an effective 2D isotropic harmonic-oscillator (HO) potential. While it is well known that 3D \chi^2 solitons with embedded…
Vortex-antivortex pairs are localized excitations and have been found to be spontaneously created in magnetic elements. In the case that the vortex and the antivortex have opposite polarities the pair has a nonzero topological charge, and…
We examine the hydrodynamics of systems with spontaneously broken multipolar symmetries using a systematic effective field theory. We focus on the simplest non-trivial setting: a system with charge and dipole symmetry, but without momentum…
A group-theoretical approach for studying localized periodic and quasiperiodic vibrations in 2D and 3D lattice dynamical models is developed. This approach is demonstrated for the scalar models on the plane square lattice. The…
We predict the existence of spatial-spectral vortex solitons in one-dimensional periodic waveguide arrays with quadratic nonlinear response. In such vortices the energy flow forms a closed loop through the simultaneous effects of phase…
Recently interesting observations on electron vortex beams, which have angular momentum about the center of the vortex beams, have been made. We have shown that the basic features of the electron vortex beams in a uniform magnetic field are…
Vortices are localized planar structures that attain topological stability and can be used to describe collective behavior in a diversity of situations of current interest in nonlinear science. In high energy physics, vortices engender…
Modons, or dipolar vortices, are common and long-lived features of the upper ocean, consisting of a pair of monopolar vortices moving through self-advection. Such structures remain stable over long times and may be important for fluid…
A hollow vortex is a region of constant pressure bounded by a vortex sheet and suspended inside a perfect fluid; it can therefore be interpreted as a spinning bubble of air in water. This paper gives a general method for desingularizing…
We investigate the dynamics of $N$ point vortices in the plane, in the limit of large $N$. We consider {\em relative equilibria}, which are rigidly rotating lattice-like configurations of vortices. These configurations were observed in…
