Abstract
We study the vortex solutions in a multicomponent Zhang-Hansson-Kivelson model for the fractional quantum Hall effect, at the self-dual point. Vortices with minimal free energy represent Laughlin quasiholes. We find at least two classes of solutions, distinguished by their global invariance, or by the number of conserved charges.
