In a quantum Fermi system the energy per particle calculated at the second order beyond the mean-field approximation diverges if a zero-range interaction is employed. We have previously analyzed this problem in symmetric nuclear matter by…
Including the recent preliminary results of BaBar and BELLE experiments, we update the currently allowed intervals for various CKM parameters: $\bar\rho$, $\bar\eta$, $\sin2\beta$, $\sin2\alpha$, $\sin^2\gamma$. We also update the SM…
The explicit form of the next-to-next-to-leading order (N2LO) of the Skyrme effective pseudopotential compatible with all required symmetries and especially with gauge invariance is presented in Cartesian basis. It is shown in particular…
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 consider the problem of quantizing a Skyrmion which is allowed to vibrate, rotate and isorotate. Previous approaches have neglected the interactions between vibrations and zero modes (analogous to so-called Coriolis terms in the…
A finite-energy static classical solution is obtained for standard Einstein gravity coupled to an $SO(3)\times SO(3)$ chiral model of scalars [a Skyrme model]. This nonsingular localized solution has nontrivial topology for both the…
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 consider the quantum multisoliton scattering problem. For BPS theories one truncates the full field theory to the moduli space, a finite dimensional manifold of energy minimising field configurations, and studies the quantum mechanical…
Time-dependent analytic solutions of the Einstein-Skyrme system --gravitating Skyrmions--, with topological charge one are analyzed in detail. In particular, the question of whether these Skyrmions reach a spherically symmetric…
The search for solutions of field theories allowing for topological solitons requires that we find the field configuration with the lowest energy in a given sector of topological charge. The standard approach is based on the numerical…
It is understood that the Skyrme model has a topologically interesting baryonic excitation which can model nuclei. So far no stable knotted solutions, of the Skyrme model, have been found. Here we investigate the dynamics of Hopf solitons…
We provide analytical and numerical evidence of the existence of classically stable, string-like configurations in a 2+1 dimensional analog of the Skyrme model. The model contains a conserved topological charge usually called the baryon…
We study the predictive power of Skyrme forces with respect to low lying quadrupole spectra along the chains of Sn, Cd, and Te isotopes. Excitation energies and B(E2) values for the lowest quadrupole states are computed from a collective…
We prove the existence of electrically and magnetically charged particlelike static solutions, known as dyons, in the minimally gauged Skyrme model developed by Brihaye, Hartmann, and Tchrakian. The solutions are spherically symmetric,…
The representations of general dimension are constructed for the $SU(2)$ Skyrme model, treated quantum mechanically {\it ab initio. } This quantum Skyrme model has a negative mass term correction, that is not present in the classical…
The supersymmetric baby-Skyrme model is an interesting field theoretical model, and its BPS states have been studied using the usual methods. Here, we propose a novel method to rigorously obtain both topologically stable BPS and non-BPS…
In the semi-classical approach to the Skyrme model, nuclei are approximated by quantum mechanical states on a finite-dimensional space of field configurations; in zero-mode quantization this space is generated by rotations and isorotations.…
We study skyrmions in the littlest Higgs model and discuss their possible role as dark matter candidates. Stable massive skyrmions can exist in the littlest Higgs model also in absence of an exact parity symmetry, since they carry a…
We consider solutions of the semi-classical Einstein-Klein-Gordon system with a cosmological constant $\Lambda\in\mathbb{R}$, where the spacetime is given by Einstein's static metric on $\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{S}^3$ with a round sphere of…
We calculate the spin-dependent polarizability of the nucleon in the Skyrme model. The result is compared with that of a heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory(HBChPT), and is shown to be the same as that of HBChPT up to the $\Delta$-pole…
