Hopf invariant, Q, for a map is the linking number in S3 of the preimages of two generic points in S2.
Packing degree, α of the knot filaments is a small parameter of the model α = Vknot/ V~ ξ2R / R3 ~ ξ2/R2 < 1 α ~ æ-2
The result of this “surgical cut” is the following structure of phase distributions on a crystal surface

SU(2) decomposition of variables: Hamiltonian in the infrared limit
SU(3) case Flag manifold F2 = SU(3)/(U(1)×U(1)) instead ofCP1 = SU(2)/U(1) = S2 dimF2 = 6 instead of dimCP1= 2 How does Hopf invariant Q for the flag maniford F2 look like? Problem:2-form F does not exact! Note thatπ3(F2)=Zas well asπ3(CP1)=Z
Conclusion 1. The origin of the internal inhomogeneity and universal character of the phase stratification is the multi-vacuum structure in the form of the knotted vortex-like order parameter distributions. 2. As a result of phase competition, we have a natural window: α/ξ < c < 1/ξ , for the existence of the free energy gain due to supercurrent with large value of the momentum, c. Here, α = ξ2/R2 < 1 is a knot packing degree, ξ is the correlation length.
