Description

The self-dual equation and its solution in SU(2) Dunne-Jackiw-Pi-Trugenberger model has been discussed with special ansatz for the Lie algebraic structures of SU(2) and gauge potential decomposition. We Obtained a new concrete self-dual equation and found the relationship between SU(2) Chern-Simons vortices and topological number which is determined by Hopf indices and Brouwer degrees of φ-mapping. M-vortices solutions are described by using 5m parameters (two positions, one scale, one phase per vortex and one charge of each vortex). The quantization of flux is also studied in this case.
