Description
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, ω1(|ϕ|) and ω(|ϕ|), which split the kinetic term of the Higgs field, |Dμϕ|2→ω1(|ϕ|)|D0ϕ|2-ω(|ϕ|)|Dkϕ|2, breaking explicitly the Lorentz covariance. We have shown that a clean implementation of the Bogomolnyi procedure only can be implemented whether ω(|ϕ|)∝β|ϕ|2β-2 with β≥1. The self-dual or Bogomolnyi equations produce an infinity number of soliton solutions by choosing conveniently the generalizing function ω1(|ϕ|) 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 |ϕ|6-vortex solutions have been analyzed from both theoretical and numerical point of view.
