Skyrmions, Rational Maps & Scaling Identities
arXiv:1012.3778 · doi:10.1063/1.3566530
Abstract
Starting from approximate Skyrmion solutions obtained using the rational map ansatz, improved approximate Skyrmions are constructed using scaling arguments. Although the energy improvement is small, the change of shape clarifies whether the true Skyrmions are more oblate or prolate.
