Tomaras %J Physics %D 1994 %I arXiv %R 10.1103/PhysRevD.51.5356 %X We establish the existence of static, classically-stable, winding solitons in renormalizable three-dimensional gauge models, with topologically trivial target space and vacuum manifold. They are prototypes for possible analogous particle-like excitations in the higgs sector of the standard electroweak theory. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/9409386v1
