Abstract

We study finite energy static solutions to a global symmetry breaking model in 3+1 dimensions described by an isovector scalar field. The basic features of two different types of configurations are discussed, one of them corresponding to axially symmetric multisolitons with topological charge , and the other one to unstable soliton-antisoliton pairs with zero topological charge.
