The bound states of fermions in the external field of an Abelian dyon are studied here both analytically and numerically. Their existence is due to the dyon's electric charge resulting from a polarization of the fermionic vacuum. The…
The broken planar Skyrme model is a theory that breaks global O(3) symmetry to the dihedral group D_N. It has been shown that the single soliton solution is formed of N constituent parts, named partons, that are topologically confined. The…
We show the existence of a nontrivial topological configuration of the Higgs field in the Standard Model with the Skyrme term. It is shown that the current upper bound of the mass of the topological object is about 34 TeV. We discuss the…
Skyrmions are stable and topologically non-trivial field configurations that behave like localized particles. They appear in the chiral effective theory for pions, where they correspond to the baryon states, and might also exist in the…
Using a remarkable mapping from the original (3+1)dimensional Skyrme model to the Sine-Gordon model, we construct the first analytic examples of Skyrmions as well as of Skyrmions--anti-Skyrmions bound states within a finite box in 3+1…
The properties of baryons containing one heavy quark are studied in the Skyrme model, where they are treated as bound states of a heavy meson with an $SU(2)$ chiral soliton. In the large $N_c$ limit, the baryon spectrum is an infinite tower…
The Skyrme model has two Skyrmion solutions of baryon number $12$, with $D_{3h}$ and $D_{4h}$ symmetries. The first has an equilateral triangular shape and the second an extended linear shape, analogous to the triangle and linear chain…
Dibaryons configurations are studied in the framework of the bound state soliton model. A generalized axially symmetric ansatz is used to determine the soliton background. We show that once the constraints imposed by the symmetries of the…
As a step toward constructing realistic brane world models in string theory, we consider the interactions of a pair of non-BPS branes. We construct a dyonic generalization of the non-BPS branes first constructed by Bergman, Gaberdiel and…
We investigate the existence of self-dual configurations in the restricted gauged baby Skyrme model enlarged with a $Z_2$--symmetry, which introduces a real scalar field. For such a purpose, we implement the Bogomol'nyi procedure that…
We apply two very different approaches to calculate Skyrmions with baryon number B less than 23. The first employs the rational map ansatz, where approximate charge B Skyrmions are constructed from a degree B rational map between Riemann…
Using the BPS Lagrangian method, we obtain a distinct set of Bogomolny equations for the Cho-Maison monopoles from the bosonic sector of a regularized electroweak theory. In the limit of $n\rightarrow\infty$ of the permittivity regulator,…
We review dynamical mass generation in three and four dimensional Ableian gauge theories. The basic approach analyzed here is to solve Schwinger-Dyson equations in some approximations. In both cases, the coupling has to be larger than a…
We study the structure of minimal-energy solutions of the baby Skyrme models for any topological charge n; the baby multi-skyrmions. Unlike in the (3+1)D nuclear Skyrme model, a potential term must be present in the (2+1)D Skyrme model to…
Skyrme theory is among the viable effective theories which emerge from low-energy limit of quantum chromodynamics. Many of its generalizations include also a dilaton. Here we find new self-gravitating solutions, both solitons and black…
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 $2+1$…
The kinetic energy of the Skyrmion-Skyrmion system is calculated in the product ansatz. The energy is expanded in a set of rotationally invariant quadratic functions of translational and iso-rotational velocities in the product ansatz and…
A bound state problem in a topologically massive quantum electrodynamics is investigated by using a non-perturbative method. We formulate the Bethe- Salpeter equation for scalar bound states composed of massive fermion and anti-fermion pair…
A consistent ansatz for the Skyrme model in (3+1)-dimensions which is able to reduce the complete set of Skyrme field equations to just one equation for the profile in situations in which the Baryon charge can be arbitrary large is…
Two families of SO(2n) Higgs models in $2n$ dimensional spacetime are presented. One family arises from the {\it dimensional reduction} of higher dimensional Yang-Mills systems while the construction of the other one is {\it ad hoc}, the…
