Q-balls in the U(1) gauged Friedberg-Lee-Sirlin model

We consider the U(1) gauged two-component Friedberg-Lee-Sirlin model in 3+1 dimensional Minkowski spacetime, which supports non-topological soliton configurations.

Description
Summary:We consider the U(1) gauged two-component Friedberg-Lee-Sirlin model in 3+1 dimensional Minkowski spacetime, which supports non-topological soliton configurations. Here we found families of axially-symmetric spinning gauged Q-balls, which possess both electric and magnetic fields. The coupling to the gauge sector gives rise to a new branch of solutions, which represent the soliton configuration coupled to a circular magnetic flux. Further, in superconducting phase this branch is linked to vorton type solutions which represent a vortex encircling the soliton. We discuss properties of these solutions and investigate their domains of existence.
