I can share a more detailed overview of the study with proper references. I just need a bit of time to tidy it up and make it presentable for the forum.

I've been studying vortex solutions in SU(N) gauge theories with adjoint scalars. The standard problem is that vortons (closed vortex loops) are unstable and collapse due to line tension. However, I've found that including a DBI-type term (similar to those in string theory effective actions)...
