A problem with the standard Skyrme model is that Skyrmion binding energies are around $15\%$, being much larger than the order $1\%$ binding energies of the nuclei that they aim to describe. Here we consider theories that extend the…
We consider a class of (2+1) dimensional baby Skyrme models with potentials that have more than one vacum. These potentials are generalisation of old and new baby Skyrme models;they involve more complicated dependence on phi_3.We find that…
We revisit baryons in the Skyrme model. Starting from static baryons in the helicity eigenstates, we generalize their wavefunctions to the non-static and relativistic regime. A new representation for gamma matrices in the soliton collective…
Self-consistent Skyrme Hartree-Fock plus BCS calculations are performed to generate potential energy curves (PEC) in various chains of Pd, Xe, Ba, Nd, Sm, Gd, and Dy isotopes. The evolution of shapes with the number of nucleons is studied…
The Skyrme model of nuclear physics requires quantisation if it is to match observed nuclear properties. A simple technique is used to find the normal mode spectrum of the baryon number B=4 Skyrme soliton, representing the $\alpha$…
We investigated the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) under an external periodic potential. We consider two such systems, the first being made of exciton-polaritons in a nanoribbon of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs),…
We present a review to the recent works related to interpreting the exotic particle X(1835) reported by BES as a $N\bar{N}$-baryonium in the Skyrme model. There are two evidences that support this interpretation: 1) There exist a classical…
The Skyrme model is extended with the Maxwell action and a source term for the gauge field. We consider the specialized case of vanishing isospin states, such that only an electric potential is turned on and study the backreaction onto the…
The characteristic predictions of chiral soliton models - the Skyrme model and its extentions - are discussed. The chiral soliton models prediction of dibaryon states with masses below NN-pion threshold is in qualitative agreement with…
We show that a multiply-quantized vortex line core can be energetically stable in a harmonically trapped two-component atomic Bose-Einstein condensate. The structure, in which the condensate component with the vortex line is surrounded by…
In this paper, we investigate the nucleon-antinucleon static energies in the Skyrme model with the product {\it Anzatz}. The calculation shows that in the ungroomed $S\bar S$ (skyrmion and antiskyrmion) channel, which leads to rapid…
Interactions of two baryons are considered in large $N_C$ chiral perturbation theory and compared to the interactions derived from the Skyrme model. Special attention is given to a torus-like configuration known to be present in the Skyrme…
We identify the quantum numbers of baryon exotics in the Quark Model, the Skyrme Model and QCD, and show that they agree for arbitrary colors and flavors. We define exoticness, E, which can be used to classify the states. The exotic baryons…
We consider rigid-body quantization of the Skyrmion in the most general four-derivative generalization of the Skyrme model with a potential giving pions a mass, as well as in a class of higher-order Skyrme models. We quantize the spin and…
We numerically show that a topologically nontrivial 3D Skyrmion can be energetically stable in a trapped two-component atomic Bose-Einstein condensate, for the parameters of Rb-87 condensate experiments. The separate conservation of the two…
We study a generalization of the loosely bound Skyrme model which consists of the Skyrme model with a sixth-order derivative term - motivated by its fluid-like properties - and the second-order loosely bound potential - motivated by…
We introduce a model motivated by studies of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) trapped in double-well potentials. We assume that a mixture of two hyperfine states of the same atomic species is loaded in such a trap.The analysis is focused on…
Generalizing quantum chromodynamics (QCD) from three to arbitrarily many color degrees of freedom suggests that baryons can be described as solitons in an effective meson theory whose interaction strength decreases with the number of…
The finite energy vibrational normal modes of the baryon number B=7 Skyrme soliton are computed. The structure of the spectrum obtained displays considerable similarity to those previously calculated for baryon numbers 2, 3 and 4. All modes…
We study an Abelian gauged $O(5)$ Skyrme model in $4+1$ dimensions, featuring the $F^4$ Maxwell and the Chern-Simons terms. Our aim is to expose the mechanism, discovered in the analogous Abelian gauged $O(3)$ Skyrme model in $2+1$…
