    Solitary waves in Abelian Gauge Theories

    No full text
    Abelian gauge theories consist of a class of field equations which provide a model for the interaction between matter and electromagnetic fields. In this paper we analyze the existence of solitary waves for these theories. We assume that the lower order term W is positive and we prove the existence of solitary waves if the coupling between matter and electromagnetic field is small. We point out that the positiveness assumption on W implies that the energy is positive: this fact makes these theories more suitable to model physical phenomena

    Hylomorphic solitons and charged Q-balls: Existence and stability

    No full text
    In this paper we present a general theoretical framework from which several known results (a some new ones) on the existence and stability of solitons can be recovered. We give an abstract definition of solitary wave and soliton and we develope an abstract existence theory. This theory provides a powerful tool to study the existence of solitons for the Klein–Gordon equations as well as for gauge theories. Applying this theory, we prove the existence of a continuous family of stable charged Q-balls

    No full text
    In this paper we study the Nonlinear Schrödinger-Maxwell equations (NSM). We are interested to analyse the existence of solitons, namely of nite energy solutions which exhibit stability properties. This paper is divided in two parts. In the rst, we give an abstract denition of soliton and we develope an abstract existence theory. In the second, we apply this theory to NSM

    On the existence of stable charged Q-balls

    No full text
    This paper concerns hylomorphic solitons, namely, stable, solitary waves whose existence is related to the ratio energy/charge. In theoretical physics, the name Q-ball refers to a type of hylomorphic solitons or solitary waves relative to the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation.We are interested in the existence of charged Q-balls, namely, Q-balls for the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation coupled with theMaxwell equations. In this case, the charge reduces to the electric charge. The main result of this paper establishes that stable, charged Q-balls exist provided that the interaction between the matter and the gauge field is sufficiently small
