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…
Magnetic field topology frozen in ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and its breakage in near ideal MHD are reviewed in two parts. The first part gives a physically complete description of the frozen in field topology, taking magnetic flux…

We present a new existence mechanism, based on symplectic topology, for orbits of Hamiltonian flows connecting a pair of disjoint subsets in the phase space. The method involves function theory on symplectic manifolds combined with rigidity…
It is shown that the Cauchy problem of the equations in magnetohydrodynamics in the whole space is globally well-posed for any initial smooth and localized data. In general, the mathematical structure of solution shows that the coupled…

Cloaking is a method of making obstacles undetectable. Here we cloak unit cells of a magnetic pattern squeezed into an otherwise periodic pattern from a magnetically driven colloidal flow. We apply a time-periodic external magnetic field…

Non-symmetric vacuum magnetic fields with closed magnetic field lines are of interest in the construction of stellarator equilibria. Beyond the result of D.Lortz (ZAMP \textbf{21}, 196 (1970)), few results are available. This work presents…
This article is devoted to a description of the dynamics of the phase flow of monotone contact Hamiltonian systems. Particular attention is paid to locating the maximal attractor (or repeller), which could be seen as the union of compact…
The paper describes the unique geometric properties of ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), and demonstrates how such features are inherited by extended MHD, viz. models that incorporate two-fluid effects (the Hall term and electron inertia).…
We analyze a class of physical properties, forming the content of the so-called von Zeipel theorem, which characterizes stationary, axisymmetric, non-selfgravitating perfect fluids in circular motion in the gravitational field of a compact…
We develop an effective field theory approach to inspect the electromagnetic interactions in an electrically neutral plasma, with an equal number of negative and positive charge carriers. We argue that the static equilibrium configurations…
This Letter deals with topological solitons in an O(3) sigma model in three space dimensions (with a Skyrme term to stabilize their size). The solitons are classified topologically by their Hopf number N. The N=2 sector is studied; in…
Magnetization in highly conductive plasmas is ubiquitous to astronomical systems. Flows in such media can be described by three path functions $\Lambda_\alpha$, or, for a steady flow, by two stream functions $\lambda_\kappa$ and an…
A natural extension of the Hopf-cyclic cohomology, with coefficients, is introduced to encompass topological Hopf algebras. The topological theory allows to work with infinite dimensional Lie algebras. Furthermore, the category of…
Topological states of matter are, generally, quantum liquids of conserved topological defects. We establish this by constructing and analyzing topological field theories which describe the dynamics of field singularities using gauge fields.…
Null solutions to Maxwell's equations in free space have the property that the topology of the electric and magnetic lines is preserved for all time. In this article we connect the study of a particularly relevant class of null solutions…
