- Abstract
We examine the energetics of Q-balls in Maxwell–Chern–Simons theory in two space dimensions. Whereas gauged Q-balls are unallowed in this dimension in the absence of a Chern–Simons term due to a divergent electromagnetic energy, the addition of a Chern–Simons term introduces a gauge-field mass and renders finite the otherwise-divergent electromagnetic energy of the Q-ball. Similar to the case of gauged Q-balls , Maxwell–Chern–Simons Q-balls have a maximal charge. The properties of these solitons are studied as a function of the parameters of the model considered, using a numerical technique known as relaxation. The results are compared to expectations based on qualitative arguments. PACS Nos.: 11.10.Lm, 11.10.–z, 11.15.Kc
