A theoretical and numerical investigation shows the formation of spin-orbit optical solitons in nematic liquid crystals as a consequence of a nonlinear modulation of the optic axis and the resulting geometric phase in the birefringent medium. The unusual self-trapping mechanism may allow for new all-optical waveguiding and switching schemes.
