Abstract
Abstract Particlelike solutions in SU(3) gauge Yang–Mills theory with color magnetic and electric fields sourced by a nonlinear spinor field are obtained. The asymptotic behavior of these fields is studied. It is shown that the electric field exhibits the Coulomb asymptotic behavior, and one of the color components of the magnetic field behaves asymptotically as the field of a magnetic dipole. This allows one to determine the corresponding charge and magnetic moment. It is shown that profiles of the color charge and magnetic moment have global minima, which may be called charge and magnetic moment gaps. The relationship between the total energy of the system and the color charge is obtained. The physical reason for the appearance of the mass, charge, and magnetic moment gaps in the theory under consideration is discussed.
