Abstract

It is well-known that many three-dimensional chiral material models become non-chiral when reduced to two dimensions. Chiral properties of the two-dimensional model can then be restored by adding appropriate two-dimensional chiral terms. In this paper we show how to construct a three-dimensional chiral energy function which can achieve two-dimensional chirality induced already by a chiral three-dimensional model. The key ingredient to this approach is the consideration of a nonlinear chiral energy containing only rotational parts. After formulating an appropriate energy functional, we study the equations of motion and find explicit soliton solutions displaying two-dimensional chiral properties.
