What is Bulk Vortices and Half-vortex Surface Modes in Parity-time-symmetric Media about?

We demonstrate that in-bulk vortex localized modes, and their surface half-vortex ("horseshoe") counterparts self-trap in two-dimensional (2D) nonlinear optical systems with $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric photonic lattices (PLs). The respective stability regions are identified in the underlying parameter space. The in-bulk states are related to truncated nonlinear Bloch waves in gaps of the PL-induced spectrum. The basic vortex and horseshoe modes are built, severally, of four and three beams with appropriate phase shifts between them. Their stable complex counterparts, built of up to 12 beams, are reported too.
