Li Xi-Guo, Duojie Jia, Gao Yuan
Abstract
Using decomposition of the SU(2) gauge field in terms of unit vector field, we have discussed circulation condition of the spin-1/2 Bose-Einstein dendensate. For the two-component Bose-Einstein condensate,the SU/(2) symmetry of the internal states leads to a generalization of Mermin-Ho relation as a topological constrain of the superfluid velocity.
