At , the field equations areWith and static , the second equation holds automatically and the first reduces toFor , put . The finite-energy solution isThis is a rotating charged kink in a spherical sigma model. Its orientation moves around a circle while its energy profile stays at rest. The limiting value gives no localized finite-width kink; larger does not give this finite-energy interpolation.
