We propose a new Skyrme-like model with fields taking values on the sphere S^3 or, equivalently, on the group SU(2). The action of the model contains a quadratic kinetic term plus a quartic term which is the same as that of the…

We present a concrete model of a low energy effective field theory of QCD, the well-known Skyrme Model. Specifically, we will work with the BPS submodel in order to describe the binding energies of nuclei. This BPS Skyrme model is…

We consider a version of the Skyrme model where both the kinetic term and the Skyrme term are multiplied by field-dependent coupling functions. For suitable choices, this "dielectric Skyrme model" has static solutions saturating the…

The BPS Skyrme model is a specific subclass of Skyrme-type field theories which possesses both a BPS bound and infinitely many soliton solutions (skyrmions) saturating that bound, a property that makes the model a very convenient first…

We introduce a Skyrme type model with the target space being the 3-sphere S^3 and with an action possessing, as usual, quadratic and quartic terms in field derivatives. The novel character of the model is that the strength of the couplings…

The BPS Skyrme model is a model containing an $SU(2)$-valued scalar field, in which a Bogomol'nyi-type inequality can be satisfied by soliton solutions. In this model, the energy density of static configurations is the sum of the square of…

Motivated by a class of near BPS Skyrme models introduced by Adam, S\'anchez-Guill\'en and Wereszczy\'nski, the following variant of the harmonic map problem is introduced: a map $\phi:(M,g)\rightarrow (N,h)$ between Riemannian manifolds is…

A work of Manton showed how skymions may be viewed as maps between riemannian manifolds minimising an energy functional, with topologically non-trivial global minimisers given precisely by isometries. We consider a generalisation of this…

In this paper, we search for the BPS skyrmions in some BPS submodels of the generalized Skyrme model in five-dimensional spacetime using the BPS Lagrangian method. We focus on the static solutions of the Bogomolny's equations and their…

We present new explicit tight and overtwisted contact structures on the (round) 3-sphere and the (flat) 3-torus for which the ambient metric is weakly compatible. Our proofs are based on the construction of nonvanishing curl eigenfields…

The Skyrme model is a low energy effective field theory of strong interactions where nuclei and baryons appear as collective excitations of pionic degrees of freedom. In the last years, there has been a revival of Skyrme's ideas and new…

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…

We consider the dielectric Skyrme model proposed recently, with and without the addition of the standard pion mass term. Then we write down Bogomol'nyi-type energy bounds for both the massless and massive cases. We further show that, except…

We employ the relationship between contact structures and Beltrami fields derived in part I of this series to construct steady nonsingular solutions to the Euler equations on a Riemannian $S^3$ whose flowlines trace out closed curves of all…

We consider a class of (2+1) dimensional baby Skyrme models with potentials that have more than one vacum. These potentials are generalisation of old and new baby Skyrme models;they involve more complicated dependence on phi_3.We find that…

Although it provides a relatively good picture of the nucleons, the Skyrme Model is unable to reproduce the small binding energy in nuclei. This suggests that Skyrme-like models that nearly saturate the Bogomol'nyi bound may be more…

A topological lower bound on the Skyrme energy which depends explicity on the pion mass is derived. This bound coincides with the previously best known bound when the pion mass vanishes, and improves on it whenever the pion mass is…

Let $M$ be a compact orientable Seifered fibered 3-manifold without a boundary, and $\alpha$ an $S^1$-invariant contact form on $M$. In a suitable adapted Riemannian metric to $\alpha$, we provide a bound for the volume $\text{Vol}(M)$ and…

We show that a hypersurface of the regularized, spatial circular restricted three-body problem is of contact type whenever the energy level is below the first critical value (the energy level of the first Lagrange point) or if the energy…

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…
