Analytic non-homogeneous condensates in the -dimensional Yang-Mills-Higgs-Chern-Simons theory at finite density

Abstract
We construct the first analytic examples of non-homogeneous condensates in the Georgi-Glashow model at finite density in dimensions. The non-homogeneous condensates, which live within a cylinder of finite spatial volume, possess a novel topological charge that prevents them from decaying in the trivial vacuum. Also the non-Abelian magnetic flux can be computed explicitly. These solutions exist for constant and non-constant Higgs profile and, depending on the length of the cylinder, finite density transitions occur. In the case in which the Higgs profile is not constant, the full system of coupled field equations reduce to the Lamé equation for the gauge field (the Higgs field being an elliptic function). For large values of this length, the energetically favored configuration is the one with a constant Higgs profile, while, for small values, it is the one with non-constant Higgs profile. The non-Abelian Chern-Simons term can also be included without spoiling the integrability properties of these configurations. Finally, we study the stability of the solutions under a particular type of perturbations.
