Abstract
We discuss solitonic field configurations on a spherical magnet. Exploiting the Hamiltonian structure and concepts of angular momentum, we present a new family of localized solutions to the Landau–Lifshitz equation that are topologically distinct from the ground state and break rotational symmetry. The approach illustrates emergent spin-orbit coupling arising from the loss of individual rotational invariance in spin and coordinate space – a common feature of condensed matter systems with topological phases.
