Phase Structure of a Quantized Chiral Soliton on S^3
Abstract
A quantization of a breathing motion of a rotating chiral soliton on is performed in terms of a family of trial functions for a profile function of the hegdehog ansatz. We determine eigenenergies of the quantized skyrmion by solving the Schr\"odinger equation of the breathing mode for several lower spin and isospin states varying the Skyrme term constants . When radius is smaller than , where is the pion decay constant, we always obtain a conformal map solution as the lowest eigenenergy state. In the conformal map case, allowed states have only symmetric or anti-symmetric wave function under inversion of a dynamical variable describing the breathing mode. As the radius increases the energy splitting between the symmetric and anti-symmetric states rapidly decreases and two states become completely degenerate state. When the radius larger than , for the small Skyrme term constant the lowest eigenenergy states are obtained with the profile function given by an arccosine form which is almost the same to those of usual skyrmion. When the effects of the Skyrme term are weak, i.e. large , the lowest energy states are obtained by the profile function of conformal map, which correspond to the \lc\lc frozen states" for the skyrmion as the limit of radius .
