H. Aratyn et al., Exact static soliton solutions of (3+1)-dimensional integrable theory withnonzero Hopf numbers, PHYS REV L, 83(9), 1999, pp. 1723-1726
In this paper, we explicitly construct an infinite number of Hopfions (stat
ic, soliton solutions with nonzero Hopf topological charges) within the rec
ently proposed (3 + 1)-dimensional, integrable, and relativistically invari
ant field theory. Two integers label the family of Hopfions we have found.
Their product is equal to the Hopf charge which provides a lower bound to t
he soliton's finite energy. The Hopfions are explicitly constructed in term
s of the toroidal coordinates and shown to have a form of linked closed vor
tices.
