Symmetric Instantons and Skyrme Fields
نویسندگان
چکیده
By explicit construction of the ADHM data, we prove the existence of a charge seven instanton with icosahedral symmetry. By computing the holonomy of this instanton we obtain a Skyrme field which approximates the minimal energy charge seven Skyrmion. We also present a one parameter family of tetrahedrally symmetric instantons whose holonomy gives a family of Skyrme fields which models a Skyrmion scattering process, where seven well-separated Skyrmions collide to form the icosahedrally symmetric Skyrmion.

Instantons in 4 - dimensional gauged O ( 5 ) Skyrme models
We consider a family of four-dimensional non-linear sigma models based on an O(5) symmetric group, whose fields take their values on the 4-sphere S4. An SO(4)-subgroup of the model is gauged. The one dimensional equations arising from the variation of the action density subjected to spherical symmetry are integrated numerically. Several properties of the solutions thus constructed are pointed out.
متن کاملSkyrmion solutions by generalization of the Atiyah-Manton ansatz.
We generalize the approach of Atiyah and Manton for generating Skyrmion configurations from instantons. The result is a series whose parameters are found directly from the chiral angle equation. The series converge rapidly to the exact solution for a class of the Skyrme-like models (including the Skyrme model itself) but describe with less accuracy other types of models. We describe the procedu...

We consider a family of four-dimensional non-linear sigma models based on an O(5) symmetric group, whose fields take their values on the 4-sphere S4. An SO(4)-subgroup of the model is gauged. The solutions of the model are characterised by two distinct topological charges, the Chern-Pontryagin charge of the gauge field and the degree of the map, i.e. the winding number, of the S4 field. The one...
متن کاملSpherically Symmetric Solutions of the SU(N) Skyrme Models
Recently we have presented in [1] an ansatz which allows us to construct skyrmion fields from the harmonic maps of S to CPN−1. In this paper we examine this construction in detail and use it to construct, in an explicit form, new static spherically symmetric solutions of the SU(N) Skyrme models. We also discuss some properties of these solutions.
متن کاملSphalerons in the Skyrme Model
Numerical methods are used to compute sphaleron solutions of the Skyrme model. These solutions have topological charge zero and are axially symmetric, consisting of an axial charge n Skyrmion and an axial charge −n antiSkyrmion (with n > 1), balanced in unstable equilibrium. The energy is slightly less than twice the energy of the axially symmetric charge n Skyrmion. A similar configuration wit...
