Multiple vortices for a self-dual CP(1) Maxwell-Chern-Simons model

We prove the existence of at least two doubly periodic vortex solutions for a self-dual CP(1) Maxwell-Chern-Simons model. To this end we analyze a system of two elliptic equations with exponential nonlinearities. Such a system is shown to be equivalent to a fourth-order elliptic equation admitting a variational structure.
