Abstract: (Elsevier)
Classical solutions to a spontaneously broken SU 2 × U 1 theory are considered in the absence of strings, using the formalism introduced by Nambu. A different space dependent Higgs vacuum is found with interesting properties under space inversion. An intuitive method is used to calculate the characteristic length and energy (finite) of the extended objects that arise from this theory. Though these objects do not have topological stability they could yet be realised as local minima of the energy without an absolute stability against decay. Electric charge is introduced and some interesting features of these solutions are discussed.
