AbstractLocalized modes in one-dimensional (1D) topological systems, such as Majonara modes in topological superconductors, are promising candidates for robust information processing. While theory predicts mobile integer and fractional topological solitons in 1D topological insulators, experiments so far have unveiled immobile, integer solitons only. Here we observe fractionalized phase defects moving along trimer silicon atomic chains formed along step edges of a vicinal silicon surface. By means of tunnelling microscopy, we identify local defects with phase shifts of 2π/3 and 4π/3 with their electronic states within the band gap and with their motions activated above 100 K. Theoretical calculations reveal the topological soliton origin of the phase defects with fractional charges of ±2e/3 and ±4e/3. Additionally, we create and annihilate individual solitons at desired locations by current pulses from the probe tip. Mobile and manipulable topological solitons may serve as robust, topologically protected information carriers in future information technology.

In this study, we have taken into account the time-fractional Ostrovsky–Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation, which is a synthesis of the time-fractional Ostrovsky equation and time-fractional Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equations and contains both mathematical and physical properties. Traveling wave solutions are produced by using the Ostrovsky–Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation that physically sheds light on the incoming wave event on the ocean surface, using the sub-equation and Bernoulli sub-equation function methods. These solutions are presented in hyperbolic, trigonometric, singular and dark (topological) soliton types. With the help of special values given to the coefficients in the solitons obtained, it is associated with the solutions in the literature and it is observed that the solitons produced in this study are more general. Graphs representing the stationary wave at any given moment are presented. The advantages and disadvantages as well as the similarities and differences of the method are discussed in detail. Also, the behavior of the wave and its refraction according to the velocity variable, which is a physically important factor of the traveling wave solution, is analyzed and supported by simulation.

Abstract We analyze excited baryon states using a holographic dual of quantum chromodynamics that is defined on the basis of an intersecting D4/D8-brane system. Studies of baryons in this model have been made by regarding them as a topological soliton of a gauge theory on a five-dimensional curved spacetime. However, this allows one to obtain only a certain class of baryons. We attempt to present a framework such that a whole set of excited baryons can be treated in a systematic way. This is achieved by employing the original idea of Witten, which states that a baryon is described by a system composed of $N_c$ open strings emanating from a baryon vertex. We argue that this system can be formulated by an Atiyah–Drinfeld–Hitchin–Manin-type matrix model of Hashimoto–Iizuka–Yi together with an infinite tower of the open string massive modes. Using this setup, we work out the spectra of excited baryons and compare them with the experimental data. In particular, we derive a formula for the nucleon Regge trajectory assuming that the excited nucleons lying on the trajectory are characterized by the excitation of a single open string attached on the baryon vertex.
