Compressibility of dense nuclear matter in the $\rho$-meson variant of the Skyrme model

Miguel Huidobro, Paul Leask, Carlos Naya +1

We show that coupling the $\text{SU}(2)$-valued Skyrme field to the $\rho$-meson solves the long-standing issue of (in)compressibility in the solitonic Skyrme model. Even by includi…
