Hopf solitons in the Skyrme-Faddeev system on R3 typically have a complicated structure, in particular when the Hopf number Q is large. By contrast, if we work on a compact 3-manifold M, and the energy functional consists only of the Skyrme term (the... Read More about Hopf solitons on compact manifolds.
