A simple model of the dynamics of lightly bound skyrmions is developed in which skyrmions are replaced by point particles, each carrying an internal orientation. The model accounts well for the static energy minimizers of baryon number…
In this work we investigate some features of the fermionic sector of the supersymmetric version of the baby Skyrme model. We find that, in the background of BPS compact Skyrmions, fermionic zero modes are confined to the defect core.…
In the continuum a skyrmion is a topological nontrivial map between Riemannian manifolds, and a stationary point of a particular energy functional. This paper describes lattice analogues of the aforementioned skyrmions, namely a natural way…
Exact two-dimensional solutions are constructed for the pseudo-spin-1/2 Bose-Einstein condensates which are described by the coupled nonlinear Gross-Pitaevskii equations where the intraspecies and interspecies coupling constants are assumed…
We develop a rigid $\mathscr{N} =(1,1)$ superspace framework for spatially inhomogeneous impurity deformations in $D=1+1$ dimensions by embedding the impurity profile into a real background superfield (spurion). This spurionic completion…
We perform full two-dimensional (2D) numerical relaxations of isospinning soliton solutions in the baby Skyrme model in which the global $O(3)$ symmetry is broken by the 2D analogue of the pion mass term in the Skyrme model. In our…
In N=2 SYM theory with matter non-conservation of the S-charge of a BPS state under monodromies leads to so-called BPS state "decay". A mechanism for such a behavior on the semiclassical level could be established through consideration of…
We study compactness properties of time-discrete and continuous time BGK-type schemes for scalar conservation laws, in which microscopic interactions occur only when the state of a system deviates significantly from an equilibrium…
It is known that including vector mesons stabilizes the size of a Skyrmion without the need for a Skyrme term. This paper provides the first results for static multi-Skyrmions in such a theory. The rational map ansatz is used to investigate…
We study static solutions of the Skyrme model on the two-sphere of radius L, for various choices of potential. The high-density Skyrmion phase corresponds to the ratio beta=L/(size of Skyrmion) being small, whereas the low-density phase…
We introduce a family of models for magnetic skyrmions in the plane for which infinitely many solutions can be given explicitly. The energy defining the models is bounded below by a linear combination of degree and total vortex strength,…
In this paper, we will describe recent advances in analytical methods to construct exact solutions of the Skyrme model (and its generalizations) representing inhomogeneous Hadronic condensates living at finite Baryon density. Such novel…
We consider multishell configurations in the Skyrme model within the rational map ansatz. We show that equations for the Skyrme field are linearized in the limit of large number of shells, thus allowing for a simple analytic solution.…
We derive a one-parameter family of gauged Skyrme models from Yang-Mills theory on $S^1\times\mathbb{R}^3$, in which skyrmions are well-approximated by calorons and monopoles. In particular we study the spherically symmetric solutions to…
We investigate the ground state crystalline structure of nuclear matter in the $\omega$-meson variant of the Skyrme model. After minimizing energy with respect to variations of both the Skyrme field and the period lattice, we find four…
This is a review of recent developments regarding the Skyrmion sector of higher representation QCD. Ordinary QCD is a SU(n) gauge theory with n_f Dirac quarks in the fundamental representation. Changing the representation of quarks leads to…

Non-supersymmetric multi-wall configurations are generically unstable. It is proposed that the stabilization in compact space can be achieved by introducing a winding number into the model. A BPS-like bound is studied for the energy of…

We investigate the vortex-type BPS equations in the ABJM theory without and with mass-deformation. We systematically classify the BPS equations in terms of the number of supersymmetry and the R-symmetries of the undeformed and mass-deformed…
