58. As explained in Ref., rotation is necessary to stabilize the meron-pair in spite of an attractive force of vortices induced by the domain wall of the relative phase. We have performed simulations using the imaginary time propagation of the Gross-Pitaevskii equations to study the stability, and confirmed that for Ω=0 and the finite value of ωR the center of mass of the vortex molecule spirals out towards the edge of the condensates because of the drift instability [D. S. Rokhsar, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.79.2164 79, 2164 (1997)].

These authors analyzed the equilibrium structure of the two-component fermions using the Thomas-Fermi approximation. They considered an unpolarized system, where the pseudospin density Sz=ρ1-ρ2 is zero.
