Abstract: Non-linear Sigma models involving U(1) symmetry group are studied using a geometrical formalism. In this type of models, Q-balls and Q-Kinks solutions are found. The geometrical framework described in this article allows the identification of the necessary conditions on the metric and the potential to guarantee the existence of these Q-balls and Q-Kinks. Using this procedure, Sigma models where both types of solutions coexist, have been identified. Only the internal rotational frequency distinguishes which one of these defects will arise.
