False vacuum Skyrmions revisited

High Energy Physics - Theory 2022-07-13 v1

Abstract

We consider the classical static soliton solutions of the Skyrme model with false vacuum potential. We make use of fully three-dimensional relaxation calculations to construct global energy minimizers in the sectors of topological degrees from Q=1Q=1 to Q=6Q=6. These solutions may be metastable, they contain a domain of true vacuum inside the core. Further, we explore small regions of negative topological charge density which appear for the Skyrmions of degrees Q=3,5,6Q=3,5,6.
