Figure 2
topological solitons for two similar passive bands
with interband coupling
. These bands have Josephson coupling
to the third band, which is active
. The system is type-II with
[we use coupling constant
in (
1) to parametrize inverse penetration length]. The panel
displays the magnetic field
. Panels
and
respectively display
and
, showing the phase difference between two condensates. Second line, shows the densities of the different condensates
(

(
),
(
). The third line displays the supercurrent densities associated with each condensate
(
),
(
),
(
). Phase differences on panels
and
show that there is a closed domain wall since there are two areas with different phase lockings (blue and red) associated with two possible ground states. The solution consists of
vortices which are fractionalized: indeed, the panels
,
, and
show separated highly asymmetric pairs of singularities of different condensates. Note the very complicated geometry of supercurrent densities shown on panels
,
, and
.
