Dark-bright soliton solutions with nontrivial polarization interactions for the three-component defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation with nonzero boundary conditions

We derive novel dark-bright soliton solutions for the three-component defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation with nonzero boundary conditions. The solutions are obtained within the framework of a recently developed inverse scattering transform for the underlying nonlinear integrable partial differential equation, and unlike dark-bright solitons in the two component (Manakov) system in the same dispersion regime, their interactions display non-trivial polarization shift for the two bright components.
