Abstract: Field theories with a $S^2$-valued unit vector field living on $S^{3}imesRR$ space-time are investigated. The corresponding eikonal equation, which is known to provide an integrable sector for various sigma models in different spaces, is solved giving static as well as time-dependent multiply knotted configurations on $S^3$ with arbitrary values of the Hopf index. Using these results, we then find a set of hopfions with topological charge $Q_H=m^2$, $minmathbfZ$, in the integrable subsector of the pure $C{P}^1$ model. In addition, we show that the $C{P}^1$ model with a potential term provides time-dependent solitons. In the case of the so-called "new baby Skyrme" potential we find, e.g., exact stationary hopfions, i.e., topological $Q$-balls. Our results further enable us to construct exact static and stationary Hopf solitons in the Faddeev--Niemi model with or without the new baby Skyrme potential. Generalizations for a large class of models are also discussed.
