Multipoles and vortex multiplets in multidimensional media with inhomogeneous defocusing nonlinearity

We predict a variety of composite quiescent and spinning two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) self-trapped modes in media with a repulsive nonlinearity whose local strength grows from center to periphery. These are 2D dipoles and quadrupoles, and 3D octupoles, as well as vortex–antivortex pairs an...
