Abstract:
We study the Chern-Simons CP(N) models with a global U(1) symmetry and found the self-dual models among them. The Bogomolnyi-type bound in these self-dual models is a nontrivial generalization of that in the pure CP(N) models. Our models have quite a rich vacuum and soliton structure and approach the many known gauged self-dual models in an appropriate limit.
