We theoretically study an ultracold gas of spin-1 polar bosons in a one-dimensional continuum, which are subject to linear and quadratic Zeeman fields and a Raman induced spin orbit coupling. Concentrating on the regime in which the background fields can be treated perturbatively, we analytically so...
