Self-dual solitons in a Maxwell-Chern-Simons baby Skyrme model

We have studied the existence de self-dual solitons in a gauged version of the baby Skyrme model in which the gauge field dynamics is governed by the Maxwell-Chern-Simons action. For such a purpose, we have developed a detailed implementation of the Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield formalism providing the self-dual equations whose solutions saturate the energy lower bound. Such a bound related to the topological charge of the Skyrme field becomes quantized whereas both the total magnetic flux and the total electrical charge are not. We have found two types of self-dual Skyrme field profiles: the first is described by a solution which decays following an exponential-law ($e^{-αr^2}$, $α>0$); the second is portrayed by a solution having a power-law decay ($r^{-β}$, $β>0$). On other hand, in both cases the asymptotic behavior of the gauge field is similar to the one presented in the context of the Abelian Higgs models describing Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen charged vortices. Other interesting feature we highlight is the localized magnetic flux inversion, a property does not observed in others gauged baby Skyrme models already studied in literature. Numerical results are presented for rotationally symmetrical field configurations by remarking some of its essential features.

Solution of the $κ$-deformed Dirac equation with vector and scalar interactions in the context of spin and pseudospin symmetries

The deformed Dirac equation invariant under the $κ$-Poincaré-Hopf quantum algebra in the context of minimal and scalar couplings under spin and pseudospin symmetries limits is considered. The $κ$-deformed Pauli-Dirac Hamiltonian allows us to study effects of quantum deformation in a class of physical systems, such as an Zeeman-like effect, Aharonov-Bohm effect and an anomalous-like contribution to the electron magnetic moment, between others. In our analysis, we consider the motion of an electron in a uniform magnetic field and interacting with (i) a planar harmonic oscillator and (ii) a linear potential. We verify that the particular choice of a linear potential induces a Coulomb-type term in the equation of motion. Expressions for the energy eigenvalues and wave functions are determined taking into account both symmetries limits. We verify that the energies and wave functions of the particle are modified by the deformation parameter as well as by the element of spin.

Self-dual solitons in a generalized Chern-Simons baby Skyrme model

We have shown the existence of self-dual solitons in a type of generalized Chern-Simons baby Skyrme model where the generalized function (depending only in the Skyrme field) is coupled to the sigma-model term. The consistent implementation of the Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) formalism requires the generalizing function becomes the superpotential defining properly the self-dual potential. Thus, we have obtained a topological energy lower-bound (Bogomol'nyi bound) and the self-dual equations satisfied by the fields saturating such a bound. The Bogomol'nyi bound being proportional to the topological charge of the Skyrme field is quantized whereas the total magnetic flux is not. Such as expected in a Chern-Simons model the total magnetic flux and the total electrical charge are proportional to each other. Thus, by considering the superpotential a well-behaved function in the whole target space we have shown the existence of three types of self-dual solutions: compacton solitons, soliton solutions whose tail decays following an exponential-law $e^{-αr^{2}}$ ($α>0$), and solitons having a power-law decay $r^{-β}$ ($β>0$). The profiles of the two last solitons can exhibit a compactonlike behavior. The self-dual equations have been solved numerically and we have depicted the soliton profiles, commenting on the main characteristics exhibited by them.
