We explicitly demonstrate the existence of static global defect solutions of arbitrary dimensionality whose energy does not diverge at spatial infinity, by considering maximally symmetric solutions described by an action with non-standard kinetic terms in a D + 1 dimensional Minkowski space-time. We analytically determine the defect profile both at small and large distances from the defect centre. We study the stability of such solutions and discuss possible implications of our findings, in particular for dark matter and charge fractionalization in graphene.
