Abstract

In this paper we study the noncommutative extension of a modified U(n) sigma model in 2+1 dimensions. Using the method of dressing transformations, an iterative approach for the construction of solutions from a given seed solution, we demonstrate the construction of multi-soliton and soliton-antisoliton configurations for general n. As illustrative examples we discuss U(3) solitons and consider the head-on collision of a U(2) soliton and an antisoliton explicitly, which will result in a 90° angle scattering. Further we discuss the head-on collision of one U(2) soliton with two antisolitons. This results in a 60° angle scattering.
