Non-Abelian Vortices in Magnets — •Filipp Rybakov1 and Olle Eriksson1,2 — 1Uppsala University, Sweden — 2Örebro University, Sweden
The non-Abelian (non-commutative) topological states in ordered media may exhibit interesting physics emerging from purely topological arguments [1].
Here we show that non-Abelian vortices also can exist in magnets [2]. We give a topological classification of these vortices and reveal their connection with Abelian topological structures, such as usual vortices, merons, skyrmions. We analyze the potential of non-Abelian magnetic vortices for memory devices and emphasize their advantage, since they provide topological protection of all information, rather than individual bits, as in Abelian cases.
