6 Hopf solitons and Hopf Q - balls on S 3
Field theories with a S 2-valued unit vector field living on S 3 × IR space-time are investigated. The corresponding eikonal equation, which is known to provide an integrable sector for various sigma models in different spaces, is solved giving static as well as time-dependent multiply knotted configurations on S 3 with arbitrary values of the Hopf index. Using these results, we then find a set...
متن کاملHopf Solitons on the Lattice
Hopf solitons in the Skyrme-Faddeev model — S 2-valued fields on R 3 with Skyrme dynamics — are string-like topological solitons. In this Letter, we investigate the analogous lattice objects, for S 2-valued fields on the cubic lattice Z 3 with a nearest-neighbour interaction. For suitable choices of the interaction, topological solitons exist on the lattice. Their appearance is remarkably simil...
متن کاملFermionic quantization of Hopf solitons
In this paper we show how to quantize Hopf solitons using the Finkelstein-Rubinstein approach. Hopf solitons can be quantized as fermions if their Hopf charge is odd. Symmetries of classical minimal energy configurations induce loops in configuration space which give rise to constraints on the wave function. These constraints depend on whether the given loop is contractible. Our method is to ex...

The existence of ring-like structures in exact hopfion solutions is shown.
متن کاملStatic solitons with non - zero Hopf number
We investigate a generalized non-linear O(3) σ-model in three space dimensions where the fields are maps from R3∪{∞} to S2. Such maps are classified by a homotopy invariant called the Hopf number which takes integer values. The model exhibits soliton solutions of closed vortex type which have a lower topological bound on their energies. We numerically compute the fields for topological charge 1...
