The BPS sectors of the Skyrme model and their non-BPS extensions
C. Adam, D. Foster, S. Krusch +1
Two recently found coupled BPS submodels of the Skyrme model are further analyzed. Firstly, we provide a geometrical formulation of the submodels in terms of the eigenvalues of the…
The decay of Hopf solitons in the Skyrme model
David Foster
It is understood that the Skyrme model has a topologically interesting baryonic excitation which can model nuclei. So far no stable knotted solutions, of the Skyrme model, have bee…
Scattering of Skyrmions
David Foster, Steffen Krusch
In this paper, we present a detailed study of Skyrmion-Skyrmion scattering for two Skyrmions in the attractive channel where we observe two different scattering regimes. For…
Negative Baryon density and the Folding structure of the B=3 Skyrmion
David Foster, Steffen Krusch
The Skyrme model is a non-linear field theory whose solitonic solutions, once quantised, describe atomic nuclei. The classical static soliton solutions, so-called Skyrmions, have i…
Static Hopfion solutions of the extended Skyrme-Faddeev model
David Foster
We construct non-axially symmetric static soliton solutions, with non-zero topological charges, of an extension of the Skyrme-Faddeev model. The model has an extra quartic-derivati…
Helical buckling of Skyrme-Faddeev solitons
David Foster, Derek Harland
Solitons in the Skyrme-Faddeev model on R^2xS^1 are shown to undergo buckling transitions as the circumference of the S^1 is varied. These results support a recent conjecture that…
