Stability charts for vortex solitons with topological charge \(m=1\) in the model including the \({\mathscr{P}}{\mathscr{T}}\)-symmetric imaginary potential (3) with \(\beta =0\), and \(\sigma =0\) or 1 in Eq. (9), in panels (a and b) panels, respectively. Green circles and red crosses denote stable and unstable vortex solitons, respectively. The same notation is used below in other stability charts for vortex solitons.
