We present a calculation of a solitary wave propagating along a cylindrical Bose-Einstein trap. For sufficiently strong couplings of experimental interest, it is found to be a hybrid of a one-dimensional (1D) soliton and a three-dimensional vortex ring. The calculated energy-momentum dispersion exhibits characteristics similar to those of a mode proposed sometime ago by Lieb within a 1D model, as well as some rotonlike features.
