Zero-modes of Non-Abelian Solitons in Three Dimensional Gauge Theories
We study non-Abelian solitons of the Bogomol'nyi type in N=2 (d=2+1)
supersymmetric Chern-Simons (CS) and Yang-Mills (YM) theory with a generic
gauge group. In CS theory, we find topological, non-topological and semi-local
(non-)topological vortices of non-Abelian kinds in unbroken, broken and
partially broken vacua. We calculate the number of zero-modes using an index
theorem and then we apply the moduli matrix formalism to realize the moduli
parameters. For the topological solitons we exhaust all the moduli while we
study several examples of the non-topological and semi-local solitons. We find
that the zero-modes of the topological solitons are governed by the moduli
matrix H_0 only and those of the non-topological solitons are governed by both
H_0 and the gauge invariant field \Omega. We prove local uniqueness of the
master equation in the YM case and finally, compare all results between the CS
and YM theories.Comment: 54 pages, 1 figur
