Results of the study of polarization dynamic holograms formed under multiwave mixing of Gaussian and singular light beams in dye solutions are presented. It was shown that for any combination of polarizations of the interacting waves, the topological charge, contributed in formed dynamic hologram, is transmitted to conjugate wave, and it is equal in absolute to that of the signal wave. The dependence of the orientation of the polarization plane of the conjugate wave on the relative orientation of the polarization planes of the interacting waves has been established.
