Knotted Multi-Soliton Configurations with Arbitrary Hopf Index from the Eikonal Equation

چکیده
The complex eikonal equation in (3+1) dimensions is investigated. It is shown that this equation generates many multi soliton configurations with arbitrary value of the Hopf index. In general, these eikonal hopfions do not have the toroidal symmetry. For example, a hopfion with topology of the trefoil knot is found. Moreover, we argue that such solitons might be helpful in construction of approximated analytical knotted solutions of the Faddeev-Niemi model. ∗[email protected]

Knotted Configurations with Arbitrary Hopf Index from the Eikonal Equation
The complex eikonal equation in (3+1) dimensions is investigated. It is shown that this equation generates many multi-knot configurations with an arbitrary value of the Hopf index. In general, these eikonal knots do not have the toroidal symmetry. For example, a solution with topology of the trefoil knot is found. Moreover, we show that the eikonal knots provide an analytical framework in which...
متن کامل6 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 کاملGeneralized Eikonal Knots and New Integrable Dynamical Systems
A new class of non-linear O(3) models is introduced. It is shown that these systems lead to integrable submodels if an additional integrability condition (so called the generalized eikonal equation) is imposed. In the case of particular members of the family of the models the exact solutions describing toroidal solitons with a non-trivial value of the Hopf index are obtained. Moreover, the gene...
متن کاملHopf maps as static solutions of the complex eikonal equation
We demonstrate that a class of torus-shaped Hopf maps with arbitrary linking number obeys the static complex eikonal equation. Further , we explore the geometric structure behind these solutions, explaining thereby the reason for their existence. As this equation shows up as an integrability condition in certain non-linear field theories, the existence of such solutions is of some interest.

We study the issue of stability of static soliton-like solutions in some non-linear field theories which allow for knotted field configurations. Concretely, we investigate the AFZ model, based on a La-grangian quartic in first derivatives with infinitely many conserved currents, for which infinitely many soliton solutions are known analytically. For this model we find that sectors with differen...
