Hopf solitons and elastic rods
Derek Harland, Martin Speight, Paul Sutcliffe
Hopf solitons in the Skyrme-Faddeev model are string-like topological solitons classified by the integer-valued Hopf charge. In this paper we introduce an approximate description o…

Fermionic quantization of Hopf solitons
Steffen Krusch, Martin Speight
In this paper we show how to quantize Hopf solitons using the Finkelstein-Rubinstein approach. Hopf solitons can be quantized as fermions if their Hopf charge is odd. Symmetries of…
