# Nonradial solutions for the Klein-Gordon-Maxwell equations

• We study a system of a nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation coupled with Maxwell's equations. We prove the existence of nonradial solutions which are radially symmetric when restricted to a hyperplane, and either periodic or non-periodic in the orthogonal direction to that very hyperplane.
