Skyrmions on the 2-sphere.

de Innocentis, M.; Ward, R.S.

Abstract

We study static solutions of the Skyrme model on the 2-sphere of radius L, for various choices of potential. The high-density Skyrmion phase corresponds to the ratio β = L/(size of Skyrmion) being small, whereas the low-density phase corresponds to β being large. The transition between these two phases, and in particular the behaviour of a relevant order parameter, is examined.
