Description

Recently there was much interest in superconducting states which break time reversal symmetry. Examples being p+ip superconductors or three band superconductors with frustrated interband couplings. We will discuss that when this symmetry is broken the system posses stable or, in certain cases metastable skyrmions characterized by CP1, or in case of three band superconductors CP2 symmetry. These Skyrmions can be viewed as stable configuration of spatially separated fractional vorteces.
