摘要
In Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), skyrmions can be characterized by pairs of linking vortex rings coming from two-component wave functions. Here we construct skyrmions by studying critical points of Gross-Pitaevskii functionals with two-component wave functions. Using localized energy method, we rigorously prove the existence, and describe the configurations of skyrmions in such BECs.
