The rational map approximation to the solution to the SU(2) Skyrme model with baryon number B=4 is canonically quantized. The quantization procedure leads to anomalous breaking of the chiral symmetry, and exponential falloff of the energy…
We extend previous work on N=2 Chern-Simons theories coupled to a single adjoint chiral superfield using localization techniques and the F-maximization principle. We provide tests of a series of proposed 3D Seiberg dualities and a new class…
Since the 1950s Heisenberg and others have attempted to explain the appearance of countable particles in quantum field theory in terms of stable localized field configurations. As an exception Skyrme's model succeeded to describe nuclear…
The axial anomaly is computed for Euclidean Dirac fermions on the plane. The dependence upon the self-adjoint extensions of the Dirac operator is investigated and its relevance concerning the second virial coefficient of the anyon gas is…
In the Skyrme model with massless pions, the minimal energy multi-Skyrmions are shell-like, with the baryon density localized on the edges of a polyhedron that is approximately spherical and generically of the fullerene-type. In this paper…
We show that any solution of the SU(2) Skyrme model can be used to give a topologically trivial solution of the SU(4) one. In addition, we extend the method introduced by Houghton et al. and use harmonic maps from S2 to CP(N-1) to construct…
Dirac fermions coupled to gauge fields can exhibit the chiral anomaly even on a finite spatial lattice. A careful description of this phenomenon yields new insights into the nature of spin-charge relations and on-site symmetries (symmetries…
The D0 collaboration has reported a 3.2 \sigma deviation from the Standard Model (SM) prediction in the like-sign dimuon charge asymmetry. New physics beyond the SM in B_s - \bar B_s mixing is needed to explain the data. In this paper, we…
In this work we show that, by introducing two $SU(3)_{c}\times SU(2)_{L}$ singlet right handed fermions carrying opposite $U(1)_{Y}$ charges and while their left handed counterparts are singlet under $SU(3)_{c}\times SU(2)_{L}$ and neutral…
The relation between the Skyrme model and the constituent quark model, which appears in the large $N_c$ limit is described. Examples of similarity in the predicted phenomenology for baryons are shown. Finally the application to nuclei is…
By generalizing a fermionic construction, a natural relation is found between SL(2) degenerate conformal field theories and some N=2 discrete superconformal series. These non-unitary models contain, as a subclass, N=2 minimal models. The…
This current work is an extension to work previously done by the authors. The dynamics of a baby skyrmion configuration, in a model Landau-Lifshitz equation, was studied in the presence of various potential obstructions. The baby skyrmion…
We study the phenomenon of spontaneous breaking of rotational symmetry (SBRS) in the rotating solutions of two types of baby Skyrme models. In the first the domain is a two-sphere and in the other, the Skyrmions are confined to the interior…
We perform the complete regularization of all Green functions with a single incoming and outgoing baryon to order q^3 in the low energy expansion for the SU(3) meson-baryon system in chiral perturbation theory. The divergences can be…
In terms of spin coherent states we have investigated topological defects in 2D S=1 (pseudo)spin quantum system with the bilinear and biquadratic isotropic exchange in the continuum limit. The proper Hamiltonian of the model can be written…
Treating the strange quark mass as a heavy scale compared to the light quark mass, we perform a matching of the nucleon mass in the SU(3) sector to the two-flavor case in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory. The validity of the $19$…
The semiclassical SU(3) Skyrme model is traditionally considered as describing a rigid quantum rotator with the profile function being fixed by the classical solution of the corresponding SU(2) Skyrme model. In contrast, we go beyond the…
We propose a new DBI extension of a Skyrme type model which allows for BPS topological solitons with arbitrary value of the baryon charge. The model is built out of the baryon density squared and in the limit of small fields tends to the…
In this talk I define what I call the minimal SO(10) SUSY model. I then discuss the phenomenological consequences of this theory, vis a vis gauge and Yukawa coupling unification, Higgs and super-particle masses, the anomalous magnetic…
We study the chiral models such as the Skyrmion and chiral bag to investigate the baryon strange form factors associated with the SAMPLE experiments.
