On the entire radial solutions of the Chern-Simons SU(3) system (Q2450867)

The physics of superconductivity with high critical temperature has been modelled using the relativistic self-dual Abelian Chern-Simons SU(3) system due to Jackiw and Weinberg. The Chern-Simons equations have then been studied by a large number of authors for further developments. A non-abelian version of the Chern-Simons model has been introduced by Kao, Lee and Dunne in the 3-dimensional Minkowski space with a compact gauge group, whose Lie algebra is semi-simple. In the present paper, Huang and Lin prove that a given radial solution must be of one of three types. The first type is called a topological solution, the second type is called a non-topological solution, and the third type is called a mixed-type solution. So this paper completely classifies the asymptotic behavior, which has been an open problem for many years.
