Abstract
Semitopological Vortices (Q-Rings) are identified to be classical soliton configurations whose stability is attributed to both topological and nontopological charges. We discuss some recent work on the simplest possible realization of such a configuration in a scalar field theory with an unbroken U(1) global symmetry. We show that Q-Rings correspond to local minima of the energy, exhibit numerical solutions of their field configurations and derive virial theorems demonstrating their stability.
