In the context of electromagnetic wave propagation in ferromagnetic medium, what is meant by magnetostatic spin wave? This terminology one came across in the wave modulation in ferromagnetic medium.
Thanks in well advance..

In the ground state of a ferromagnet all the spins are aligned. In an excited state some of the spins will be misaligned. But since neighboring spins have an interaction, instead of single particle excitations you'll get collective excitations in the form of a wave. These are called spin waves or magnons, analogous to the phonons you get from the lattice vibrations.
 
As you said if the excitations are in the form of magnons then how solitons can be excited in the system?

Thread 'Schrödinger equation and classical wave equation'

Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Thread 'Is Maxwell's electromagnetism an effective (field) theory?'

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
