Abstract

A previous study demonstrated that ferromagnetic Bose-Einstein condensates have long-lived Skyrmion excitations. The present work demonstrates that spin-1 Bose-Einstein antiferromagnets also have pointlike topological excitations. In particular, there exist singular pointlike spin textures.
