Self-dual configurations in a generalized abelian Chern-Simons-Higgs model with explicit breaking of the Lorentz covariance (Q1681923)

Summary: We have studied the existence of self-dual solitonic solutions in a generalization of the abelian Chern-Simons-Higgs model. Such a generalization introduces two different nonnegative functions, \(\omega_1(| \phi |)\) and \(\omega(| \phi |)\), which split the kinetic term of the Higgs field, \(| D_\mu \phi |^2 \to \omega_1(| \phi |) | D_0 \phi |^2 - \omega(| \phi |) | D_k \phi |^2\), breaking explicitly the Lorentz covariance. We have shown that a clean implementation of the Bogomolnyi procedure only can be implemented whether \(\omega(| \phi |) \propto \beta | \phi |^{2 \beta - 2}\) with \(\beta \geq 1\). The self-dual or Bogomolnyi equations produce an infinity number of soliton solutions by choosing conveniently the generalizing function \(\omega_1(| \phi |)\) which must be able to provide a finite magnetic field. Also, we have shown that by properly choosing the generalizing functions it is possible to reproduce the Bogomolnyi equations of the abelian Maxwell-Higgs and Chern-Simons-Higgs models. Finally, some new self-dual \(| \phi |^6\)-vortex solutions have been analyzed from both theoretical and numerical point of view.
