    The theory of Abelian gauge theories in \(\mathbb{R}^4\) equipped with the Minkowski metric leads to a system of KGM (Klein-Gordon-Maxwell) equations, which provide models for the interaction between the electromagnetic field and matter. The authors show that a suitable choice of the term \(W\) guarantees the existence of finite energy vortices in tree space dimensions. Here, a vortex is a finite energy solution in which the magnetic field looks like the field created by a solenoid.
