Domain wall solution of the Skyrme model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract A class of domain-wall-like solutions of the Skyrme model is obtained analytically. They are described by the tangent hyperbolic function, which is a special limit of the Weierstrass ℘ function. The behavior of one of the two terms in the static energy density is like that of a domain wall. The other term in the static energy density does not vanish but becomes constant at the points far apart from the wall.

A Skyrme Lattice with Hexagonal Symmetry
Recently it has been found that the structure of Skyrmions has a close analogy to that of fullerene shells in carbon chemistry. In this letter we show that this analogy continues further, by presenting a Skyrme field that describes a lattice of Skyrmions with hexagonal symmetry. This configuration, a novel ‘domain wall’ in the Skyrme model, has low energy per baryon (about 6% above the Faddeev-...
متن کاملSkyrmions from instantons inside domain walls.
Some years ago, Atiyah and Manton described a method to construct approximate Skyrmion solutions from Yang-Mills instantons. Here we present a dynamical realization of this construction using domain walls in a five-dimensional gauge theory. The non-Abelian gauge symmetry is broken in each vacuum but restored in the core of the domain wall, allowing instantons to nestle inside the wall. We show ...

We study the 3 + 1 dimensional Skyrme model with a mass term different from the usual one. We show that this new model possesses domain walls solutions. We describe how, in the equivalent 2+1 dimensional model, the Skyrmion is absorbed by the wall.
متن کاملThe decay of Hopf solitons in the Skyrme model
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 been found. Here we investigate the dynamics of Hopf solitons decaying to the vacuum solution in the Skyrme model. In doing this we develop a matrixfree numerical method to identify the minimum eigenvalue of the Hessian ...
متن کاملA pure Skyrme instanton
The nuclear Skyrme model is considered in the extreme limit where the nucleon radius tends to infinity. In this limit only the Skyrme term in the action is significant. The model is then conformally invariant in dimension 4, and supports an instanton solution which can be constructed explicitly. The construction uses the conformal invariance and a certain symmetry reduction to reduce the model ...
