Skyrmion number in superposed vortex beams equals max(ℓ2, ℓ1) under small perturbations rather than ℓ2 - ℓ1.
Cylindrical vector beams in optically active media periodically convert between azimuthally- and radially-polarised modes, accompanied by transverse spin rotation and pulsing longitudinal fields.
