Abstract
We introduce three-dimensional (3D) spatiotemporal vector solitary waves in coupled (3 + 1)D nonlinear Schrödinger equations with variable diffraction and nonlinearity coefficients. The analysis is carried out in spherical coordinates, providing for novel localized solutions. Using the Hirota bilinear method, 3D approximate but analytical spatiotemporal vector solitary waves are built with the help of spherical harmonics, including multipole solutions and necklace rings. Variable diffraction and nonlinearity allow utilization of soliton management methods. The comparison with numerical solutions is provided and the behavior of relative error is displayed. It is demonstrated that the spatiotemporal soliton profiles found are stable in propagation.
