Symmetry and inert states of spin Bose Condensates

TL;DR

This paper systematically classifies inert states and their symmetries in spin Bose condensates up to spin 4, and applies these classifications to understand line defects at zero magnetic field.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive list of inert states and symmetry properties for spin Bose condensates up to spin 4, advancing the understanding of their topological defects.

Findings

Complete classification of inert states for S ≤ 4

Symmetry properties of these inert states

Application to line defect classification at zero magnetic field

Abstract

We construct the list of all possible inert states of spin Bose condensates for $S \le 4$. In doing so, we also obtain their symmetry properties. These results are applied to classify line defects of these spin condensates at zero magnetic field.
