Abstract

In this paper, we prove the uniqueness of topological solutions for the self-dual Maxwell–Chern–Simons O(3) sigma model under the conditions on Chern–Simons coupling parameter and the charge of electron. Besides, we also provide the quantitative analysis of radial solutions of all types for single vortex-point case.
