It is demonstrated how in the soliton approach to baryons a small but non-vanishing matrix element of the axial singlet current is obtained. Furthermore it is shown that these models also provide a mechanism to disentangle the ``matter" and…
In order to develop a model that can describe both a single baryon and multi-baryon systems on the same footing, we re-investigate the Skyrme model in a chiral Lagrangian derived from the hidden local symmetry (HLS) up to $O(p^4)$ including…
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…

We evaluate the two pion exchange contribution to the nucleon-nucleon potential in configuration space using a "minimal chiral model" containing only pions and nucleons. We argue that this model has nowadays a rather firm conceptual basis,…
Changes in the meson-nucleon coupling constant and the vertex form factor in nuclear matter are studied in a modified Skyrme Lagrangian including the sigma-meson field that satisfies the scale invariance. Renormalization of the axial-vector…
