Motion of vortex lines in nonlinear wave mechanics
arXiv:quant-ph/0110145 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.65.014101
Abstract
We extend our previous analysis of the motion of vortex lines [I. Bialynicki-Birula, Z. Bialynicka-Birula and C. Sliwa, Phys. Rev. A 61, 032110 (2000)] from linear to a nonlinear Schroedinger equation with harmonic forces. We also argue that under certain conditions the influence of the contact nonlinearity on the motion of vortex lines is negligible. The present analysis adds new weight to our previous conjecture that the topological features of vortex dynamics are to a large extent universal.
