Gauged compact $Q$-balls and $Q$-shells in a multi-component $CP^N$ model

We study a multicomponent $CP^N$ model's scalar electrodynamics. The model contains $Q$-balls and $Q$-shells, which are nontopological compact solitons with time dependency $e^{iωt}$. Two coupled $CP^N$ models can decouple locally if one of their $CP^N$ fields takes the vacuum value. Because of the compacton nature of solutions, $Q$-shells can shelter another compact $Q$-ball or $Q$-shell within their hollow region. Even if compactons do not overlap, they can interact through the electromagnetic field. We investigate how the size of multicompacton formations is affected by electric charge, with a focus on structures with nonzero or zero total net charge.

Compact Q-balls and Q-shells in a multi-component $\mathbb{C}P^N$ model

Coupled multi-component $\mathbb{C}P^N$ models with V-shaped potentials are analyzed. It is shown that the model has solutions being combinations of compact Q-balls and Q-shells. The compact nature of solutions permits the existence of novel harbor-type solutions having the form of Q-balls sheltered by Q-shells. The relation between the energy $E$ and Noether charge $Q$ is discussed both analytically and numerically. The energy of the solutions behaves as $E\sim |Q|^α,~α<1$, i.e., as for the standard Q-ball. Furthermore, the ratio $E/Q$ for various configurations in the multi-component model suggests that the solutions are at least classically stable.
