Abstract
We study a class of Lorentz invariant nonlinear field equations in multiple space dimensions. The main purpose is to obtain soliton-like solutions with variable exponent. The fields are characterized by a topological invariant, which we call the charge. We prove the existence of a static solution which minimizes the energy among the configurations with nontrivial charge.
