The electroweak sphaleron is a static, unstable solution of the Standard Model classical field equations, representing the energy barrier between topologically distinct vacua. In this work, we present a comprehensive updated analysis of the…
We have searched for a neutral $H$ dibaryon decaying via $H\to\Lambda n$ and $H\to\Sigma^0 n$. Our search has yielded two candidate events from which we set an upper limit on the $H$ production cross section. Normalizing to the inclusive…
Skyrmions are important in topological quantum field theory for being soliton solutions of a nonlinear sigma model and in information technology for their attractive applications. Skyrmions are believed to be circular and stripy spin…
The ground state configurations of the solution to Skyrme's topological soliton model for systems with baryon number larger than 1 are well approximated with rational map ans\"atze, without individual baryon coordinates. Here canonical…
The chiral symmetry-breaking term of the Skyrme model with massive pion is modified to obtain the hedgehog profile function which is in best coincidence with the kink-like profile function. For the modified Lagrangian, the minimum of the…
We find that, when the dilaton is implemented as a (pseudo-)Nambu-Goldstone boson using a conformal compensator or "conformon" in a hidden gauge symmetric Lagrangian written to $O(p^4)$ from which baryons arise as solitons, namely,…
The role of rescaling (expansion or squeezing) of quantized skyrmions is studied for the spectrum of baryons beginning with nucleon and $\Delta(1232)$, and with flavors strangeness, charm or beauty. The expansion of skyrmions due to the…
We construct the skyrmion solutions appearing in the coset spaces SU(N)/SO(N) for N > 2 and compute their classical mass. For N = 3, the third homotopy group pi_3(SU(3)/SO(3)) = Z_4 implies the existence of two distinct solutions: the…
The special role of the isoscalar mesons ($\sigma$ and $\omega$) in the NJL soliton is discussed. Stable soliton solutions are obtained when the most general ansatz compatible with vanishing grand spin is assumed. These solutions are…
The SU(2) Skyrme model is reviewed. The model, which considers hadron as soliton (Skyrmion), is used for investigating the nucleon mass and delta mass. Keywords: Skyrme model, soliton, hadron, nucleon mass, delta mass.
Static properties of SU(3) multiskyrmions with baryon number up to 6 (classical masses and momenta of inertia) are estimated. The calculations are based on the recently suggested generalization of the SU(2) rational map ansaetze applied to…
We compute the gravitational form factor $D(t)$ of various nuclei in the generalized Skyrme model where nuclei are described as solitonic field configurations each with a definite baryon number $B$. We separately discuss the cases $B=1$…
We study the baryonic sector of QCD with quarks in the two index symmetric or antisymmetric representation. The minimal gauge invariant state that carries baryon number cannot be identified with the Skyrmion of the low energy chiral…
Topologically stable structures include vortices in a wide variety of matter, such as skyrmions in ferro- and antiferromagnets, and hedgehog point defects in liquid crystals and ferromagnets. These are characterized by integer-valued…
We investigate the 35-plet baryons from the chiral soliton models. We find that the coupling constant for the decay of 35-plet baryons with spin 3/2 to the decuplet baryons is surprisingly small, but that for the decay to 27-plet baryons…
The coarse-grained interactions between N\'eel skyrmions, stabilized by interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya coupling (iDMI), are studied through the properties of their hexagonal lattices by micromagnetic simulations. The interactions with…
A spin texture called skyrmion has been recently observed in certain chiral magnets without inversion symmetry. The observed skyrmions are extended objects with typical linear sizes of 10 nm to 100 nm that contain $10^3$ to $10^5$ spins and…
Spherically symmetric solutions of generic gravitational models are optimally, and legitimately, obtained by expressing the action in terms of the two surviving metric components. This shortcut is not to be overdone, however: a one-function…
In this paper we investigate gravitationally bound, spherically symmetric equilibrium configurations consisting of ordinary (polytropic) matter nonminimally coupled to an external chameleon scalar field. We show that this system has static,…
Magnetic skyrmions are particle-like topological excitations that recently generated much interest as candidates for future spintronic devices based on skyrmion small size, enhanced topological stability, and/or mutual interaction. Here we…
