Abstract

A nonlinear wave equation permitting topological vortices is proposed, which is a two-spatial-dimensional analogue of the classical continuous isotropic Heisenberg spin chain. Exact multi-vortex solutions of the equation are obtained by using Hirota's method. This shows that the dynamics of vortices are integrable.
