Abstract: (Elsevier)
We derive a set of self-duality equations for the nonabelian theory of a relativistic charged scalar field coupled to a Chern-Simons gauge field via adjoint coupling and with a specific sixth-order potential. Solutions to the self-duality equations saturate the lower bound on the energy, given by the gauge invariant relativistic charge, and the solutions are static in the sense that tr (φφ † ) is time independent. In the abelian limit this theory reduces to the self-dual Chern-Simons vortex model of Jackiw and Weinberg, and in the nonrelativistic limit this theory reduces to the theory of nonrelativistic adjoint coupling Chern-Simons vortices whose solutions are known to be intimately related with integrable models in two dimensions.- Chern-Simons term
