| Abstract: | The atom optics of Bose-Einstein condensates containing a vortex of circulation one is discussed. We first analyze in detail
the reflection of such a condensate falling on an atomic mirror. In a second part, we consider a rotating condensate in the
case of attractive interactions. We show that for sufficiently large nonlinearity the rotational symmetry of the rotating
condensate is broken.
