A Bogomol’nyi–Prasad–Sommerfield bound with a first-order system in the 2D Gross–Pitaevskii equation

Abstract A novel Bogomol’nyi–Prasad–Sommerfield (BPS) bound for the Gross–Pitaevskii equations in two spatial dimensions is presented herein. The energy can be bounded from below in terms of the combination of two boundary terms, one related to the vorticity (but “dressed” by the condensate profile)...

description Abstract A novel Bogomol’nyi–Prasad–Sommerfield (BPS) bound for the Gross–Pitaevskii equations in two spatial dimensions is presented herein. The energy can be bounded from below in terms of the combination of two boundary terms, one related to the vorticity (but “dressed” by the condensate profile) and the second to the “skewness” of the configurations. The bound is saturated by configurations that satisfy a system of two first-order partial differential equations. When such a BPS system is satisfied, the Gross–Pitaevskii equations are also satisfied. The analytic solutions of this BPS system in the present manuscript represent configurations with fractional vorticity living in an annulus. Using these techniques, we present the first analytic examples of this kind. The hydrodynamic interpretation of the BPS system is discussed, and the implications of these results are outlined.
