May, 1997Citations per year
Abstract:
We consider a (2+1) dimensional nonlinear O(3) sigma model with its U(1) subgroup gauged along with the inclusion of a self-interaction having symmetry breaking minima.The gauge field dynamics is governed by the Maxwell term.The model is shown to support topologically stable purely magnetic self-dual vortices.- sigma model: nonlinear
- symmetry: O(3)
- dimension: 3
- field equations: vortex
