In the spirit of previous papers, but using more general field configurations, the non-linear O(3) model in (2+1)-D, modified by the addition of both a potential-like term and a Skyrme-like term, is considered. The instanton solutions are…
The finite-density and finite-temperature phase portraits of the baby-Skyrme and Skyrme models are investigated. Both grand-canonical and canonical approaches are employed. The grand-canonical approach can be used to find the ``natural''…

The Skyrme-Faddeev model has planar soliton solutions with target space $\mathbb{C}P^N$. An Abelian Chern-Simons term (the Hopf term) in the Lagrangian of the model plays a crucial role for the statistical properties of the solutions.…
We construct a method to supersymmetrize higher kinetic terms and apply it to the baby Skyrme model. We find that there exist N=1 supersymmetric extensions for baby Skyrme models with arbitrary potential.
We investigate the sigma and baby Skyrme models with an RP^2 target space. We compare these models to models with an S^2 target space. We investigate the interactions between solitons and defects in the RP^2 sigma model.
We construct axially symmetric solutions of U(1) gauged Skyrme model. Possessing a nonvanishing magnetic moment, these solitons have also a nonzero angular momentum proportional to the electric charge.
