Solitary waves in Abelian Gauge Theories with strongly nonlinear potentials
Annales de l'I.H.P. Analyse non linéaire, Volume 27 (2010) no. 4, pp. 1055-1071.

We study the existence of radially symmetric solitary waves for a system of a nonlinear Klein–Gordon equation coupled with Maxwell's equation in presence of a positive mass. The nonlinear potential appearing in the system is assumed to be positive and with more than quadratical growth at infinity.
