In this paper we study the existence of multiple solutions for the non-Abelian Chern–Simons–Higgs (N× N)-system: Δ u i= λ (∑ j= 1 N∑ k= 1 N K k j K j i e u j e u k−∑ j= 1 N K j i e u j)+ 4 π∑ j= 1 n i δ p i j, i= 1,…, N; over a doubly periodic domain Ω, with coupling matrix K given by the Cartan matrix of S U (N+ 1),(see (1.2) below). Here, λ> 0 is the coupling parameter, δ p is the Dirac measure with pole at p and n i∈ N, for i= 1,…, N. When N= 1, 2 many results are now available for the periodic solvability of such system and provide the existence of different classes of solutions known as: topological, non-topological, mixed and blow-up type. On the contrary for N≥ 3, only recently in [27] the authors managed to obtain the existence of one doubly periodic solution via a minimization procedure, in the spirit of [46]. Our main contribution in this paper is to show (as in [46]) that actually the given system admits a second doubly periodic solutions of “Mountain-pass” type, provided that 3≤ N≤ 5. Note that the existence of multiple solutions is relevant from the physical point of view. Indeed, it implies the co-existence of different non-Abelian Chern–Simons condensates sharing the same set (assigned component-wise) of vortex points, energy and fluxes. The main difficulty to overcome is to attain a “compactness” property encompassed by the so-called Palais–Smale condition for the corresponding “action” functional, whose validity remains still open for N≥ 6.
