Abstract

We derive equations of motion for topological solitons in antiferromagnets under the combined action of perturbations such as an external magnetic field and torque-generating electrical current. Aside from conservative forces, such perturbations generate an effective "magnetic field" exerting a gyrotropic force on the soliton and an induced "electric field" if the perturbation is time-dependent. We apply the general formalism to the cases of a domain wall and of a vortex. An antiferromagnetic vortex can be effectively moved by combined applications of a magnetic field and an electric current.
