The Asymptotic Approach to the Description of Two-Dimensional Symmetric Soliton Patterns

The asymptotic approach is suggested for the description of interacting surface and internal oceanic solitary waves. This approach allows one to describe stationary moving symmetric wave patterns consisting of two plane solitary waves of equal amplitudes moving at an angle to each other. The results obtained within the approximate asymptotic theory are validated by comparison with the exact two-soliton solution of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation (KP2-equation). The suggested approach is equally applicable to a wide class of non-integrable equations too. As an example, the asymptotic theory is applied to the description of wave patterns in the 2D Benjamin–Ono equation describing internal waves in the infinitely deep ocean containing a relatively thin one of the layers.

Zigzag Solitons and Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in Discrete Rabi Lattices with Long-Range Hopping

A new type of discrete soliton, which we call zigzag solitons, is founded in two-component discrete Rabi lattices with long-range hopping. The spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) of zigzag solitons is also studied. Through numerical simulation, we found that by enhancing the intensity of the long-range linearly-coupled effect or increasing the total input power, the SSB process from the symmetric soliton to the asymmetric soliton will switch from the supercritical to subcritical type. These results can help us better understand both the discrete solitons and the Rabi coupled effect.

Quantized Solitons in the Extended Skyrme-Faddeev Model

The construction of axially symmetric soliton solutions with non-zero Hopf topological charges according to a theory known as the extended Skyrme-Faddeev model, was performed in [1]. In this paper we show how masses of glueballs are predicted within this model.

ON THE GAUGED NONCOMPACT SPIN SYSTEM

We examine classical and quantum aspects of the planar noncompact spin system coupled with Chern–Simons gauge field in the presence of background charge. We first define our classical spin system as nonrelativistic nonlinear sigma model in which the order parameter spin takes value in the noncompact manifold ℳ= SU(1, 1)/U(1) . Although the naive model does not allow any finite energy self-dual solitons, it is shown that the gauged system admits static Bogomol'nyi solitons with finite energy whose rotationally symmetric soliton solutions are analyzed in detail. We also discuss the large spin limit in which the self-dual equation reduces to the well-known gauged nonlinear Schrödinger model or Abelian Higgs model, depending on the choice of the background charge term. Then, we perform quantization of the model. We find that the spin algebra satisfies anomalous commutation relations, and the system is a field theoretic realization of the anyons.
