Non-Abelian Chern-Simons vortices with generic gauge groups
نویسنده
چکیده
We study non-Abelian Chern-Simon BPS-saturated vortices enjoying N = 2 supersymmetry in d = 2 + 1 dimensions, with generic gauge groups of the form U(1) × G, with G being a simple group, allowing for orientational modes in the solutions. We will keep the group as general as possible and utilizing the powerful moduli matrix formalism to provide the moduli spaces of vortices and derive the corresponding master equations. Furthermore, we study numerically the vortices applying a radial Ansatz to solve the obtained master equations and we find especially a splitting of the magnetic fields, when the coupling constants for the trace-part and the traceless part of the Chern-Simons term are varied, such that the Abelian magnetic field density can become negative near the origin of the vortex while the non-Abelian part stays positive, and vice versa. ∗e-mail address: gudnason(at)df(dot)unipi(dot)it

Vortices in (abelian) Chern-Simons gauge theory
The vortex solutions of various classical planar field theories with (abelian) Chern-Simons term are reviewed. Relativistic vortices, put forward by Paul and Khare, arise when the Abelian Higgs model is augmented with the Chern-Simons term. Adding a suitable sixth-order potential and turning off the Maxwell term provides us with pure Chern-Simons theory with both topological and non-topological...
متن کاملElectrically and magnetically charged vortices in the Chern–Simons–Higgs theory
In this paper, we prove the existence of finite-energy electrically and magnetically charged vortex solutions in the full Chern–Simons–Higgs theory, for which both the Maxwell term and the Chern–Simons term are present in the Lagrangian density. We consider both Abelian and non-Abelian cases. The solutions are smooth and satisfy natural boundary conditions. Existence is established via a constr...
متن کاملVortices in a nonminimal Maxwell-Chern-Simons O(3) Sigma Model
In this work we consider an Abelian O(3) sigma model coupled nonminimally with a gauge field governed by Maxwell and Chern-Simons terms. Bogomol’nyi equations are constructed for a specific form of the potential and generic nonminimal coupling constant. Furthermore, topological and nontopological self-dual soliton solutions are obtained for a critical value of the nonminimal coupling constant. ...
متن کاملSpin of Chern-simons Vortices
We discuss a novel method of obtaining the fractional spin of abelian and nonabelian Chern-Simons vortices. This spin is interpreted as the difference between the angular momentum obtained by modifying Schwinger’s energy momentum tensor by the Gauss constraint, and the canonical (Noether) angular momentum. It is found to be a boundary term depending only on the gauge field and, hence, is indepe...
متن کاملVortices and domain walls in a Chern - Simons theory with magnetic moment interaction
We study the structure and properties of vortices in a recently proposed Abelian Maxwell-Chern-Simons model in 2+1 dimensions. The model which is described by gauge field interacting with a complex scalar field, includes two parity and time violating terms: the Chern-Simons and the anomalous magnetic terms. Self-dual relativistic vortices are discussed in detail. We also find one dimensional so...
