Stability of dark solitons in a bubble Bose-Einstein condensate
Dark solitons on a spherical Bose-Einstein condensate become unstable above a threshold in nonlinear strength and decay into vortex pairs through a single unstable mode for each angular momentum m at least 2.

Record completeness
Claims
Analytically and numerically, we prove this decay is dictated by a single unstable mode for each angular momentum m ≥ 2, which is a universal mechanism that controls the resulting vortex state.
The condensate is perfectly confined to an infinitesimally thin spherical shell so that the dynamics reduce to an effective 2D nonlinear Schrödinger equation on the sphere; any finite thickness or radial excitations would alter the mode spectrum and possibly the instability threshold.
Dark solitons on a spherical bubble BEC remain stable only below a critical nonlinear parameter and decay into vortex dipoles via a single unstable mode for each m ≥ 2, unlike full 3D cases that produce vortex rings.
