Skyrmions on S3 and H3 from instantons
- Physics
- 1990
A recent proposal to derive Skyrme fields in flat space from Yang-Mills instantons is modified to obtain Skyrme fields on the 3-sphere and on hyperbolic 3-space. Good approximations to the single…
Thermal Skyrmion-like configuration
- Physics
- 1989
Atiyah and Manton have shown how one can simply construct a Skyrmion-like configuration from an instanton. We generalise their ansatz to a thermal instanton and derive from it a thermal Skyrmion-like…
Oblate skyrmions with B=2
- Physics
- 2005
The numerical solution for the B = 2 static soliton of the SU(2) Skyrme model shows a profile-function dependence that is not exactly radial. We quantify this by introducing an axially symmetric ob...
Skyrmions from gravitational instantons
- PhysicsProceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences
- 2013
We propose a construction of Skyrme fields from holonomy of the spin connection of gravitational instantons. The procedure is implemented for Atiyah–Hitchin and Taub–NUT instantons. The skyrmion…

Conformal Properties of Pseudoparticle Configurations
- Computer Science
- 1977
It is shown that more general solutions of Euclidean Yang-Mills pseudoparticle solutions with Pontryagin index exist and that the additional degrees of freedom are not gauge artifacts and correspond to a new degeneracy of pseudoparticles configurations.
Deuteron as a toroidal Skyrmion.
- PhysicsPhysical review. D, Particles and fields

The results are consistent with the interpretation of the deuteron as a quantum state of a toroidal Skyrmion.
