$SO(2)$ gauged Skyrmions in $4+1$ dimensions

Abstract

We study the simplest $SO(2)$ gauged $O(5)$ Skyrme models in $4+1$ (flat) dimensions. In the gauge decoupled limit, the model supports topologically stable solitons (Skyrmions) and after gauging, the static energy of the solutions is bounded from below by a "baryon number". The studied model features both Maxwell and Maxwell--Chern-Simons dynamics. The considered configurations are subject to bi-azimuthal symmetry in the ${\mathbb{R}}^4$ subspace resulting in a two dimensional subsystem, as well as subject to an enhanced symmetry relating the two planes in the ${\mathbb{R}}^4$ subspace, which results in a one dimensional subsystem. Numerical solutions are constructed in both cases. In the purely magnetic case, fully bi-azimuthal solutions were given, while electrically charged and spinning solutions were constructed only in the radial (enhanced symmetric) case, both in the presence of a Chern-Simons term, and in its absence. We find that, in contrast with the analogous models in $2+1$ dimensions, the presence of the Chern-Simons term in the model under study here results only in quantitative effects.
