The effect of pion mass on Skyrme configurations
Conor Houghton, Shane Magee
In the Skyrme model, atomic nuclei are identified with solitonic configurations. If the pion mass is set to zero, these configurations are spherical shells of energy with a fullere…

A zero-mode quantization of the Skyrmion
Conor Houghton, Shane Magee
In the semi-classical approach to the Skyrme model, nuclei are approximated by quantum mechanical states on a finite-dimensional space of field configurations; in zero-mode quantiz…

Icosahedral Skyrmions
Richard Battye, Conor Houghton, Paul Sutcliffe
In this paper we aim to determine the baryon numbers at which the minimal energy Skyrmion has icosahedral symmetry. By comparing polyhedra which arise as minimal energy Skyrmions w…
