Perturbation theory for bright spinor Bose--Einstein condensate solitons
Abstract
We develop a perturbation theory for bright solitons of the F=1 integrable spinor Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) model. The formalism is based on using the Riemann-Hilbert problem and provides the means to analytically calculate evolution of the soliton parameters. Both rank-one and rank-two soliton solutions of the model are obtained. We prove equivalence of the rank-one soliton and the ferromagnetic rank-two soliton. Taking into account a splitting of a perturbed polar rank-two soliton into two ferromagnetic solitons, it is sufficient to elaborate a perturbation theory for the rank-one solitons only. Treating a small deviation from the integrability condition as a perturbation, we describe the spinor BEC soliton dynamics in the adiabatic approximation. It is shown that the soliton is quite robust against such a perturbation and preserves its velocity, amplitude, and population of different spin components, only the soliton frequency acquires a small shift. Results of numerical simulations agree well with the analytical predictions, demonstrating only slight soliton profile deformation.
