Vortices in a parity-invariant Maxwell-Chern-Simons model

Abstract

In this work we propose a parity-invariant Maxwell-Chern-Simons $U(1)\times U(1)$ model coupled with two charged scalar fields in $2+1$ dimensions, and show that it admits finite-energy topological vortices. We describe the main features of the model and find explicit numerical solutions for the equations of motion, considering different sets of parameters and analyzing some interesting particular regimes. We remark that the structure of the theory follows naturally from the requirement of parity invariance, a symmetry that is rarely envisaged in the context of Chern-Simons theories. Another distinctive aspect is that the vortices found here are characterized by two integer numbers.
