Applying Cho–Faddeev–Niemi decomposition for SU(2) Yang–Mills field, we obtain the Abelian–Higgs Lagrangian by some approximation. Abelian–Higgs Lagrangian with a spontaneous symmetry breaking potential has vortex solutions known as Nielsen–Olesen solutions. We conclude that vortices as well as magnetic monopoles can exist in Cho–Faddeev–Niemi decomposition of SU(2) Yang–Mills field.

Recent work of Harland shows that the SO (3)-symmetric, dimensionally reduced, charge- N self-dual Yang–Mills calorons on the hyperbolic space H 3 × S 1 may be obtained through constructing N -vortex solutions of an Abelian Higgs model as in the study of Witten on multiple instantons. In this paper, we establish the existence of such minimal action charge- N calorons by constructing arbitrarily prescribed N -vortex solutions of the Witten type equations.

A spherically symmetric instanton of a 4-dimensional non-Abelian Higgs model descended from a generalised Yang-Mills system, is presented. This instanton is not selfdual.
