We present an exact three-dimensional solitonic solution to a sine-Gordon-type Euler-Lagrange equation, that describes a configuration of a three-dimensional vector field n constrained to a surface p-vortex, with a prescribed polar tilt angle on a planar substrate and escaping into the third dimension in the bulk. The solution is relevant to characterization of a schlieren texture in nematic liquid-crystal films with tangential (in-plane) substrate alignment. The solution is identical to a section of a point defect discovered many years ago by Saupe [Mol. Cryst. Liq. Cryst. 21, 211 (1973)], when latter is restricted to a surface.

A vortex in a condensate in a nonspherical trapping potential will in general experience a torque. The torque will induce tilting of the direction of the vortex axis. We observe this behavior experimentally and show that by applying small distortions to the trapping potential, we can control the tilting behaviour. By suppressing vortex tilt, we have been able to hold the vortex axis along the line of sight for up to 15 seconds. Alternatively, we can induce a 180 degree tilt, effectively reversing the charge on the vortex as observed in the lab frame. We characterize the vortex non-destructively with a surface-wave spectroscopic technique.

I analyze the one-dimensional, cubic Schrodinger equation, with nonlinearity constructed from the current density, rather than, as is usual, from the charge density. A soliton solution is found, where the soliton moves only in one direction. Relation to higher-dimensional Chern--Simons theory is indicated. The theory is quantized and results for the two-body quantum problem agree at weak coupling with those coming from a semiclassical quantization of the soliton.
Recently, in an ensemble of small spheres, we proposed a method that converts the force between two large spheres into the pressure on the large spheres surface element. Using it, the density distribution of the small spheres around the large sphere can be obtained experimentally. In a similar manner, in this letter, we propose a transform theory for surface force apparatus, which transforms the force acting on the cylinder into the density distribution of the small spheres on the cylindrical surface. The transform theory we derived is briefly explained in this letter.

Recently, we proposed a method that converts the force between two-large colloids into the pressure on the surface element (FPSE conversion) in a system of a colloidal solution. Using it, the density distribution of the small colloids around the larg e colloid is calculated. In a similar manner, in this letter, we propose a transform theory for colloidal probe atomic force microscopy (colloidal probe AFM), which transforms the force acting on the colloidal probe into the density distribution of the small colloids on a flat surface. If measured condition is proper one, in our view, it is possible for the transform theory to be applied for liquid AFM and obtain the liquid structure. The transform theory we derived is briefly explained in this letter.

Following the experimental observation of bright matter-wave solitons [L. Khaykovich et al., Science v. 296, 1290 (2002); K. E. Strecker et al., Nature (London) v. 417, 150 (2002)], we develop a semi-phenomenological theory for soliton thermodynamics and find the condensation temperature. Under a modified thermodynamic limit, the condensate occupation at the critical temperature undergoes a sudden jump to a nonzero value, indicating a discontinuous phase transition. Treating the condensation as a diffusion over a barrier shows that the condensation time is exponentially long as one approaches the thermodynamic limit, and the longest near the critical temperature.
