Gauged linear sigma models with C^m-valued scalar fields and gauge group U(1)^d, d \leq m, have soliton solutions of Bogomol'nyi type if a suitably chosen potential for the scalar fields is also included in the Lagrangian. Here such models…
The baby Skyrme model is a well-known nonlinear field theory supporting topological solitons in two space dimensions. In the limit where the term quadratic in derivatives (the "sigma model term") vanishes some additional structure emerges.…
We consider the Skyrme model using the explicit parameterization of the rotation group SO(3) through elements of its algebra. Topologically nontrivial solutions already arise even in the one-dimensional case because the fundamental group of…
We analyze the mechanism of condensation of orientational moduli (as introduced in [25]) on multi-Skyrmionic configurations of the four-dimensional Skyrme model. The present analysis reveals interesting novel features. First of all, the…
We examine some general properties of a certain class of scalar filed theory models containing non-topological soliton solutions in the context of brane world models with compact large extra dimensions. If a scalar field is allowed to…
The static baby Skyrme model is investigated in the extreme limit where the energy functional contains only the potential and Skyrme terms, but not the Dirichlet energy term. It is shown that the model with potential $V=\frac12(1+\phi_3)^2$…
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 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…
This paper concerns classical nonlinear scalar field models on the real line. If the potential is a symmetric double-well, such a model admits static solutions called kinks and antikinks, which are perhaps the simplest examples of…
We construct discrete analogs of Skyrmions in nonlinear dynamical lattices. The Skyrmion is built as a vortex soliton of a complex field, coupled to a dark radial soliton of a real field. Adjusting the Skyrmion ansatz to the lattice setting…
The baby Skyrme model is studied with a novel choice of potential, $V=1/2 \phi_3^2$. This "easy plane" potential vanishes at the equator of the target two-sphere. Hence, in contrast to previously studied cases, the boundary value of the…
We study the BPS Skyrme model with potentials breaking the isospin symmetry and analyse how properties of exact solitonic solutions depend on a form of the isospin breaking potential. In the case of the strong symmetry breaking a new…
Topological solitons are crucial to many branches of physics, such as models of fundamental particles in quantum field theory, information carriers in nonlinear optics, and elementary entities in quantum and classical computations. Chiral…
Inspired by the well known sine-Gordon equation, we present a symmetric coupled system of two real scalar fields in $1+1$ dimensions. There are three different topological soliton solutions which be labelled according to their topological…
Topological excitations in Chern-Simons gauge theories which describe double-layer fractional quantum Hall effct are studied. There are two types of solitons; one is vortex and the other is nontrivial pseudospin textures which are so-called…
We show that the Skyrme theory actually is a theory of monopoles which allows a new type of solitons, the topological knots made of monopole-anti-monopole pair,which is different from the well-known skyrmions. Furthermore, we derive a…
The hedgehog Skyrme model on three-sphere admits very rich spectrum of solitonic solutions which can be encompassed by a strikingly simple scheme. The main result of this paper is the statement of the tripartite structure of solutions of…
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…
We study Skyrmion dynamics in a (2+1)-dimensional Skyrme model. The system contains a dimensionless parameter alpha, with alpha=0 corresponding to the O(3) sigma-model. If two Skyrmions collide head-on, then they can either coalesce or…
The Faddeev-Skyrme model, a modified O(3) nonlinear sigma model in three space dimensions, is known to admit topological solitons that are stabilized by the Hopf charge. The Faddeev-Skyrme model is also related to the low-energy limits of…
