Vortices and electrically charged vortices in non-Abelian gauge theories

Vortex solutions for a spontaneously broken SU(N) theory are explicitly constructed. N Higgs fields in the adjoint representation are needed in order to ensure topological stability. (N-1) topologically different solutions exist with magnetic flux Phi quantized according to the relation Phi = (2..pi../e)n/ ..sqrt..N with n = 1,2,...,N-1. When a Chern-Simons term is added, the model exhibits electrically charged vortex solutions. A novel feature of these solutions is that their electric charge q is quantized in units of the fundamental charge e, q = mne/ ..sqrt..2N , with melement ofZ. In addition, their angular momentum J is nonzero and also quantized, J = nm/2N.
