Baby Skyrmions stabilized by canonical quantization

arXiv:0909.5281 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2009.10.085

Abstract

We analyse the effect of the canonical quantization of the rotational mode of the O(3) $σ$-model which includes the Skyrme term. Numerical evidence is presented that the quantum correction to the mass of the rotationally-invariant charge $n=1,2$ configurations may stabilize the solution even in the limit of vanishing potential. The corresponding range of values of the parameters is discussed.
