Abstract

We study spherically symmetric solutions of an SO(5)SO(5) Chern-Simons--Yang-Mills-Higgs system in 3+13+1 dimensions. The Chern-Simons densities are defined in terms of both Yang-Mills fields and a 55-component isomultiplet Higgs. The SO(3)×SO(2)SO(3)\times{SO(2)} solutions are analysed in a systematic way, by employing numerical methods. These finite energy configurations possess both electric and magnetic global charges, differing radically, however, from Julia-Zee dyons. When two or more of these Chern-Simons densities are present in the Lagrangian, solutions with vanishing electric charge but nonvanishing electrostatic potential may exist.
