Rational Skyrmions
Derek Harland, Paul Sutcliffe
A new method is introduced to construct approximations to Skyrmions that are explicit rational functions of the spatial Cartesian coordinates. The scheme uses ADHM data of a Yang-M…
Skyrme crystals with massive pions
Derek Harland, Paul Leask, Martin Speight
The crystalline structure of nuclear matter is investigated in the standard Skyrme model with massive pions. A semi-analytic method is developed to determine local minima of the st…
Geometry of Gauged Skyrmions
Josh Cork, Derek Harland
A work of Manton showed how skymions may be viewed as maps between riemannian manifolds minimising an energy functional, with topologically non-trivial global minimisers given prec…
Nucleon-nucleon potential from instanton holonomies
Chris Halcrow, Derek Harland
We derive the nucleon-nucleon interaction from the Skyrme model using the instanton and product approximations to skyrmion dynamics. In doing so, we also calculate the classical po…
Approximating the parallel transport of an induced connection
Derek Harland
Efficient numerical methods to approximate the parallel transport operators of the induced connection on a sub-bundle of a vector bundle are presented. These methods are simpler th…
A model for gauged skyrmions with low binding energies
Josh Cork, Derek Harland, Thomas Winyard
We consider gauged skyrmions with boundary conditions which break the gauge from to in models derived from Yang-Mills theory. After deriving genera…
