We construct new solutions of the Faddeev-Skyrme-Maxwell model, which represent Hopf solitons coupled to magnetic fluxes. It turns out that coupling to the magnetic field allows for transmutations of the solitons, however, the results…
A gauged (2+1)-dimensional version of the Skyrme model is investigated. The gauge group is $U(1)$ and the dynamics of the associated gauge potential is governed by a Maxwell term. In this model there are topologically stable soliton…
We construct new solutions of a $U(1)$ gauged Skyrme-Maxwell model of topological degrees $Q\leq 5$, which represent Skyrmions coupled to magnetic fluxes. It is found that, generically, in the strong coupling limit, coupling to the magnetic…
We consider soliton solutions of the U(1) gauged Skyrme model with the pion mass term. The domain of existence of gauged Skyrmions is restricted from above by the value of the pion mass. Concentrating on the solutions of topological degree…

Motivated by the sigma model limit of multicomponent Ginzburg-Landau theory, a version of the Faddeev-Skyrme model is considered in which the scalar field is coupled dynamically to a one-form field called the supercurrent. This coupled…
We use a prescription to gauge the su(2) Skyrme model with a U(1) field, characterised by a conserved Baryonic current. This model reverts to the usual Skyrme model in the limit of the gauge coupling constant vanishing. We show that there…
We construct non-axially symmetric static soliton solutions, with non-zero topological charges, of an extension of the Skyrme-Faddeev model. The model has an extra quartic-derivative term and we choose its coupling to the Skyrme-term to be…
We study geometric variational problems for a class of nonlinear sigma-models in quantum field theory. Mathematically, one needs to minimize an energy functional on homotopy classes of maps from closed 3-manifolds into compact homogeneous…

We construct new class of regular soliton solutions of the gauged planar Skyrme model on the target space $S^2$ with fractional topological charges in the scalar sector. These field configurations represent Skyrmed vortices, they have…
We study the stability of Hopfions embedded in the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) model of two oppositely charged components. It has been shown by Babaev et al. [Phys. Rev. B 65, 100512 (2002)] that this model contains the Faddeev-Skyrme (FS) model,…
We derive nonperturbative classical solutions of noncommutative U(1) gauge theory, with or without a Higgs field, representing static magnetic flux tubes with arbitrary cross-section. The fields are nonperturbatively different from the…

The strongly coupled limit of the Skyrme-Faddeev-Niemi model (i.e., without quadratic kinetic term) with a potential is considered on the spacetime S^3 x R. For one-vacuum potentials two types of exact Hopf solitons are obtained. Depending…
We study the simplest $SO(2)$ gauged $O(5)$ Skyrme models in $4+1$ (flat) dimensions. In the gauge decoupled limit, the model supports topologically stable solitons (Skyrmions) and after gauging, the static energy of the solutions is…
