Chern-Simons deformations of the gauged O(3) Sigma model on compact surfaces
This paper establishes the existence of solutions to the gauged Chern-Simons-O(3)-Sigma model on compact Riemann surfaces using topological methods, demonstrating that solutions exist for small deformation parameters with multiple solutions when vortex and antivortex counts differ, while proving global existence for any parameter value when these counts are equal, alongside numerical investigations on the sphere.
