Vortices, Skyrmions, Möbius strips: From Polaritons to Ocean Waves
Konstantin Bliokh (Donostia International Physics Center, San Sebastian, Spain)
I will present recent theoretical and experimental results on: (i) subwavelength high-intensity vortices around holes in 2D wave systems: from polaritons to ocean waves, (ii) generation of the Bessel-type vortices, displacement-field skyrmions, and polarization Möbius strips in sound and water waves, and (iii) manipulation of floating particles using topologically structured water waves.
