摘要：

We propose composite solitons carrying topological charge: multicomponent two dimensional [(2 + 1)D] Vector (Manakov-like) solitons for which at least one component carries topological charge. These multimode solitons can have a single hump or exhibit a multihump structure. The "spin" carried by these multimode composite salitons suggests 3D soliton interactions in which the particlelike behavior includes spin, in addition to effective mass, linear,and angular moments.
