Knot soliton solutions for the one-dimensional non-linear Schr\"{o}dinger equation

We identify that for a broad range of parameters a variant of the soliton solution of the one-dimensional non-linear Schr"{odinger} equation, the {\it breather}, is distinct when one studies the associated space curve (or soliton surface), which in this case is knotted. The signi ficance of these solutions with such a hidden non-trivial topological element is pre-eminent on two counts: it is a one-dimensional model, and the no nlinear Schr"{o}dinger equation is well known as a model for a variety of physical systems.
