Abstract: | Based on the ø-mapping topological current theory and the decomposition of gauge potential theory, the vortex lines and the monopoles in electrically conducting plasmas are studied. It is pointed out that these two topological structures respectively inhere in two-dimensional and three-dimensional topological currents, which can be derived from the same topological term \vec{n} ·(8706;i \vec{n} × 8706;j \vec{n}), andboth these topological structures are characterized by the ø-mapping topological numbers-Hopf indices and Brouwer degrees. Furthermore, the spatial bifurcation of vortex lines and the generation and annihilation of monopoles are also discussed. At last, we point out that the Hopf invariant is a proper topological invariant to describe the knotted solitons. |
