Scattering of topological solitons on holes and barriers
Bernard Piette, W. J. Zakrzewski, Joachim Brand
We study the scattering properties of topological solitons on obstructions in the form of holes and barriers. We use the 'new baby Skyrme' model in (2+1) dimensions and we model th…
Understanding Skyrmions using Rational Maps
N. S. Manton, B. M. A. G. Piette
We discuss an ansatz for Skyrme fields in three dimensions which uses rational maps between Riemann spheres, and produces shell-like structures of polyhedral form. Houghton, Manton…
Low Energy States in the SU(N) Skyrme Models
T. Ioannidou, B. Piette, W. J. Zakrzewski
We show that any solution of the SU(2) Skyrme model can be used to give a topologically trivial solution of the SU(4) one. In addition, we extend the method introduced by Houghton…
Low Energy Baryons in the SU(3) Skyrme Model

Nontopological structures in the baby-Skyrme model
B. Piette, W. J. Zakrzewski
We report our observations that the baby-Skyrme model in (2+1) dimensions possesses non-topological stationary solutions which we call pseudo-breathers. We discuss their properties…
