A point particle model of lightly bound skyrmions
Mike Gillard, Derek Harland, Elliot Kirk +2
A simple model of the dynamics of lightly bound skyrmions is developed in which skyrmions are replaced by point particles, each carrying an internal orientation. The model accounts…
Skyrmions with low binding energies
Mike Gillard, Derek Harland, Martin Speight
Nuclear binding energies are investigated in two variants of the Skyrme model: the first replaces the usual Skyrme term with a term that is sixth order in derivatives, and the seco…
Hopf Solitons in the AFZ Model
Mike Gillard
The Aratyn-Ferreira-Zimerman (AFZ) model is a conformal field theory in three-dimensional space. It has solutions that are topological solitons classified by an integer-valued Hopf…
Hopf solitons in the Nicole model
Mike Gillard, Paul Sutcliffe
The Nicole model is a conformal field theory in three-dimensional space. It has topological soliton solutions classified by the integer-valued Hopf charge, and all currently known…
Domain Walls and Double Bubbles
Mike Gillard, Paul Sutcliffe
We study configurations of intersecting domain walls in a Wess-Zumino model with three vacua. We introduce a volume-preserving flow and show that its static solutions are configura…
