We calculate the nucleon-antinucleon static potential in the Skyrme model using the product ansatz and including some finite $N_C$ (number of colors) corrections. The mid and long range part of the spin-spin and tensor force are correctly…
We study the binding energies of spin-isospin saturated nuclei with nucleon number $8 \le A \le 100$ in semiclassical Monte Carlo many-body simulations. The model Hamiltonian consists of, (i) nucleon kinetic energy, (ii) a nucleon-nucleon…
We study the effects of light scalar mesons on the skyrmion properties by constructing and examining a mesonic model including pion, rho meson, and omega meson fields as well as two-quark and four-quark scalar meson fields. In our model,…
We consider the problem of constraining a particle to a submanifold Sigma of configuration space using a sequence of increasing potentials. We compare the classical and quantum versions of this procedure. This leads to new results in both…
We study spin-1/2 fermions in spin dependent potentials under the \emph{spin model approximation}, in which interatomic collisions that change the total occupation of single-particle modes are ignored. The spin model approximation maps the…
We show that coupling the $\textrm{SU}(2)$-valued Skyrme field to the $\rho$-meson solves the long-standing issue of (in)compressibility in the solitonic Skyrme model. Even by including only one $\rho\pi$ interaction term, motivated by a…
We propose a new quintessence scenario in the brane cosmology, assuming that a quintessence field $Q$ is confined in our 3-dimensional brane world. With a potential $V(Q)= \mu^{\alpha+4} Q^{-\alpha}~(\alpha\geq 2)$, we find that the density…
A new model for monopole catalysis of nucleon decay is proposed. Unlike in the earlier one, the only light fields in this model are the photon and Skyrme (pion) field. The model admits the 't Hooft- Polyakov monopole and Skyrmion as…

We generalize to N2LO Skyrme functionals the semi-classical approach of Grammaticos and Voros in order to calculate the Extended Thomas Fermi expressions of the new densities and currents appearing at the N2LO level. Within a one…
Three-dimensional quantum electrodynamics exhibits a number of interesting properties, such as dynamical chiral symmetry breaking, weak confinement, and non-Fermi liquid behavior, and also has wide applications in condensed matter physics.…
Three dimensional SO(3) gauged Skyrme models characterised by specific potentials imposing special asymptotic values on the chiral field are considered. These models are shown to support finite energy solutions with nonvanishing magnetic…
The Skyrme model is a low-energy effective field theory for QCD, where the baryons emerge as soliton solutions. It is, however, not so easy within the standard Skyrme model to reproduce the almost exact linear growth of the nuclear masses…
The conventional Skyrme interaction is generalized by adding zero-range charge-symmetry-breaking and charge-independence-breaking terms, and the corresponding energy density functional is derived. It is shown that the extended model…

The Skyrme model is a classical field theory which models the strong interaction between atomic nuclei. It has to be quantized in order to compare it to nuclear physics. When the Skyrme model is semi-classically quantized it is important to…
We show that the standard Skyrme model without pion mass term can be expressed as a sum of two BPS submodels, i.e., of two models whose static field equations, independently, can be reduced to first order equations. Further, these first…
The Skyrme model is considered quantum mechanically ab initio in various irreducible representations of the SU(2) group. The canonical quantization procedure yields negative mass correction ensuring existence of stabile soliton solution…
The isospin dependence of the spin-orbit potential is investigated for an effective Skyrme-like energy functional suitable for density dependent Hartree-Fock calculations. The magnitude of the isospin dependence is obtained from a fit to…
