Abstract

We study gap solitons which appear in the topological gap of 1D bosonic dimer chains within the mean-field approximation. We find that such solitons have a nontrivial texture of the sublattice pseudospin. We reveal their chiral nature by demonstrating the anisotropy of their behavior in the presence of a localized energy potential.
