Self Duality Equations for Ginzburg–Landau and Seiberg–Witten Type Functionals with 6th Order Potentials

摘要

The abelian Chern–Simons–Higgs model of Hong-Kim-Pac and Jackiw–Weinberg leads to a Ginzburg–Landau type functional with a 6th order potential on a compact Riemann surface. We derive the existence of two solutions with different asymptotic behavior as the coupling parameter tends to 0, for any number of prescribed vortices. We also introduce a Seiberg–Witten type functional with a 6th order potential and again show the existence of two asymptotically different solutions on a compact Kähler surface. The analysis is based on maximum principle arguments and applies to a general class of scalar equations.
