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…
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…
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…
Nucleon-nucleon potential from skyrmion dipole interactions
Derek Harland, Chris Halcrow
We derive the nucleon-nucleon interaction from the Skyrme model using second order perturbation theory and the dipole approximation to skyrmion dynamics. Unlike previous derivation…
An attractive spin-orbit potential from the Skyrme model
Chris Halcrow, Derek Harland
We derive the nucleon-nucleon isoscalar spin-orbit potential from the Skyrme model and find good agreement with the Paris potential. This solves a problem that has been open for mo…
