Abstract

A multidimensional model for a ferromagnetic continuum with hydrodynamical properties, which can be regarded as a modified Landau-Lifshitz equation, is presented. The treatment of some physical examples suggests that the fluid vorticity has to be proportional to the magnetic topological current. The model can be written in the Hirota bilinear form. In two spatial dimensions, the existence of a positive definite energy functional is shown. The Bogomol'nyi inequality leads to the self-dual equations of the model, which can be expressed by the Liouville equation. By using time-dependent gauge transformations, a wide class of solutions can be generated. These are, in general, associated with the linear problem of the modified Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation. In some particular cases, the isolated vortices can move along arbitrary trajectories on the plane. The quantization problem of the time-dependent vortex configurations is briefly discussed, in relation to the possible evaluation of their energy spectrum.
