| contents | The interplay between charge density waves (CDWs) and superconductivity is a central theme in quantum materials, yet how CDW phase textures govern vortex topology remains poorly understood. We develop a theoretical framework showing that the phase of a stripe CDW can switch a magnetic vortex between topological and trivial regimes. Motivated by recent experiments, we propose two candidate mechanisms enabling phase-controlled switching of vortex topology. In a direct-modulation scenario, the CDW acts as a periodic potential that locally renormalizes band parameters and can induce topological transitions, but it generally cannot reproduce the symmetric node/antinode trend without fine tuning. In contrast, in an inversion-symmetry-breaking (ISB) scenario, a CDW node pinned to the vortex center breaks local inversion and allows for the mixture of spin-triplet pairing of Cooper pairs, producing a robust topological transition when this component dominates. Our results suggests CDW phase as a possible local handle to tune and test vortex topology. |
