Dynamics of Baby Skyrmions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Baby Skyrmions are topological solitons in a (2+1)-dimensional field theory which resembles the Skyrme model in important respects. We apply some of the techniques and approximations commonly used in discussions of the Skyrme model to the dynamics of baby Skyrmions and directly test them against numerical simulations. Specifically we study the effect of spin on the shape of a single baby Skyrmion, the dependence of the forces between two baby Skyrmions on the baby Skyrmions' relative orientation and the forces between two baby Skyrmions when one of them is spinning.

The scattering of a skyrmion configuration on asymmetric holes or barriers in a model Landau-Lifshitz equation
This current work is an extension to work previously done by the authors. The dynamics of a baby skyrmion configuration, in a model Landau-Lifshitz equation, was studied in the presence of various potential obstructions. The baby skyrmion configuration was constructed from two Q = 1 hedgehog solutions to the new baby Skyrme model in (2 + 1) dimensions. The potential obstructions were created by...
متن کاملScattering of a two skyrmion configuration on potential holes or barriers in a model Landau-Lifshitz equation
The dynamics of a baby skyrmion configuration, in a model Landau-Lifshitz equation, was studied in the presence of various potential obstructions. The baby skyrmion configuration was constructed from two Q = 1 hedgehog solutions to the baby skyrme model in (2+1)dimensions. The potential obstructions were created by introducing a new term into the Lagrangian which resulted in a localised inhomog...
متن کاملBaby Skyrmion chains
Previous results on multi-charged Baby Skyrmion solutions have pointed to a modular structure, comprised of charge two rings and single charge one Skyrmions, which combine to form higher charged structures. In this paper we present numerical evidence which shows an alternative finite chain, multi-charged global energy minimum Baby Skymion solution. We then proceed from the infinite plane, to Ba...
متن کاملBaby Skyrmions stabilized by vector mesons
Recent results suggest that multi-Skyrmions stabilized by ω mesons have very similar properties to those stabilized by the Skyrme term. In this paper we present the results of a detailed numerical investigation of a (2+1)-dimensional analogue of this situation. Namely, we compute solitons in an O(3) σ-model coupled to a massive vector meson and compare the results to baby Skyrmions, which are s...
متن کاملCompact baby skyrmions
For the baby Skyrme model with a specific potential, compacton solutions, i.e., configurations with a compact support and parabolic approach to the vacuum, are derived. Specifically, in the non-topological sector, we find spinning Q-balls and Q-shells, as well as peakons. Moreover, we obtain compact baby skyrmions with non-trivial topological charge. All these solutions may form stable multi-so...
