Abstract

We consider the baby Skyrme model in a physically motivated limit of reaching the restricted or BPS baby Skyrme model, which is a model that enjoys area-preserving diffeomorphism invariance. The perturbation consists of the kinetic Dirichlet term with a small coefficient ϵ\epsilon as well as the standard pion mass term, with coefficient ϵm12\epsilon m_1^2. The pions remain lighter than the soliton for any ϵ\epsilon and therefore the model is physically acceptable, even in the ϵ0\epsilon \to 0 limit. The version of the BPS baby Skyrme model we use has BPS solutions with Gaussian tails. We perform full numerical computations in the ϵ0\epsilon\to 0 limit and even reach the strict ϵ=0\epsilon=0 case, finding new nontrivial BPS solutions, for which we do not yet know the analytic form.
