AI中文摘要：
弹性结是根据弗伦内 - 塞雷特曲率\(\kappa(s,t)\)定义的，它是固定时间\(t\)时沿空间曲线\({\bf r}(s,t)\)的弧长\(s\)的函数，是曲率微分方程\(\partial^{2}_{s}\kappa(s,t) = -\;\kappa^{3}/2 + k_{0}^{4}\tau_{0}^{2}\;\kappa^{-3} + \lambda\,k_{0}^{2}\kappa/2\)的解，该方程由变分原理得出，使空间曲线在恒定曲线长度约束下的弯曲能量最小化。弗伦内 - 塞雷特挠率\(\tau(s,t)\)满足守恒定律\(\kappa^{2}(s,t)\,\tau(s,t) \equiv k_{0}^{2}\,\tau_{0}\)，\(\lambda\)是积分常数。在简要回顾从空间曲线\({\bf r}(s,t)\)到非线性薛定谔方程（NLSE）\(-\,iD^{-1}\partial_{t}\psi = \partial^{2}_{s}\psi + \frac{1}{2}\,|\psi|^{2}\psi\)的哈西莫托变换后，展示了行波解\(\psi(s,t) = \Psi(s_{t} \equiv s - c\,t) \equiv \kappa(s_{t})\;\exp[i\theta(s_{t})]\)如何映射到弹性结的曲率方程，其中\(\theta^{\prime}(s_{t}) \equiv c/(2D) + k_{0}^{2}\tau_{0}/\kappa^{2}(s_{t})\)，弹性结常数\(k_{0}^{2}\lambda = -\frac{1}{2}\,(c/D)^{2}\)用行波NLSE参数\((c,D)\)表示。封闭三维弹性结的约束施加了空间周期性条件，引入了一组独特的结参数，使NLSE行波能够存在。目前的工作表明，封闭弹性结上的行波解需要扩展经典弹性结参数空间。
英文摘要：
The present work introduces a new relation between closed elastica knots with the solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) through the Hasimoto transformation. An elastica knot is defined in terms of the Frenet-Serret curvature $κ(s,t)$ as a function of the arclength $s$ along the spatial curve ${\bf r}(s,t)$ at a fixed time $t$, which is a solution of the curvature differential equation $\partial^{2}_{s}κ(s,t) = -\;κ^{3}/2 + k_{0}^{4}τ_{0}^{2}\;κ^{-3} + λ\,k_{0}^{2}κ/2$. Here, the Frenet-Serret torsion $τ(s,t)$ satisfies the conservation law $κ^{2}(s,t)\,τ(s,t) \equiv k_{0}^{2}\,τ_{0}$, while the constant of integration $λ$ is associated with the constrained variation. After briefly reviewing the Hasimoto transformation from a space curve ${\bf r}(s,t)$ to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) $-\,iD^{-1}\partial_{t}ψ= \partial^{2}_{s}ψ+ \frac{1}{2}\,|ψ|^{2}ψ$, where the constant $D$ has units of fluid circulation (m$^{2}$/sec), we show how the traveling-wave solution $ψ(s,t) = Ψ(s_{t} \equiv s - c\,t) \equiv κ(s_{t})\;\exp[iθ(s_{t})]$ is mapped onto the curvature equation for an elastica knot, with $θ^{\prime}(s_{t}) \equiv c/(2D) + k_{0}^{2}τ_{0}/κ^{2}(s_{t})$ and the elastica-knot constant $k_{0}^{2}λ= -\frac{1}{2}\,(c/D)^{2}$ expressed in terms of the traveling-wave NLSE parameters $(c,D)$. The constraint of a closed 3D elastica knot imposes spatial periodicity conditions that introduce a unique set of knot parameters for which the NLSE traveling wave can exist. The present work shows that the NLSE traveling-wave solution on a closed elastica knot requires an extension of the classical elastica-knot parameter space.
