Abstract
We find that there exists an elementary topological current in Bose-Einstei n condensation. Based on the phi-mapping topological current theory, the im plicit function theorem and the Taylor expansion, the topological structure of vortex lines is detailed in the neighborhoods of the bifurcation points of the condensate wave function.
