Abstract: The two-dimensional self-dual Chern--Simons equations are equivalent to the conditions for static, zero-energy solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional gauged nonlinear Schr"odinger equation with Chern--Simons matter-gauge dynamics. In this paper we classify all finite charge SU(N) solutions by first transforming the self-dual Chern--Simons equations into the two-dimensional chiral model (or harmonic map) equations, and then using the Uhlenbeck--Wood classification of harmonic maps into the unitary groups. This construction also leads to a new relationship between the SU(N) Toda and SU(N) chiral model solutions.
