Abstract: (APS)
We have examined vortex solutions in (2+1)D Chern-Simons-Higgs theory which has no usual Maxwell term. It is shown that the Bogomol’nyi-type equations can be derived for a simple sixth-order Higgs potential and corresponding general n-vortex solutions should contain 2n free parameters. Various characteristics of Chern-Simons vortices are discussed briefly.
  • gauge field theory: U(1)
  • dimension: 3
  • Chern-Simons term
  • vortex
  • potential: Higgs
