In cases (a) and (b), where both models feature a single parameter lambda (the coupling of the potential term), the dependence of the energy on lambda is analyzed. It is shown that the plots of the energy vs lambda feature discontinuities and branches. In case (c), the emphasis is on the evolution of the topological charge, taking noninteger values. Throughout, the properties studied are contrasted with those of the corresponding Abelian Higgs models.engAtribución 3.0 Españajournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.99.045007https://journals.aps.org/open access539.1Bogomolnyi solitonsInteraction energyModelsFísica nuclear2207 Física Atómica y Nuclear
