Stability of SU(2) Quantum Skyrmion and Static Properties of Nucleons
Abstract
The Skyrme model is considered quantum mechanically ab initio in various irreducible representations of the SU(2) group. The canonical quantization procedure yields negative mass correction ensuring existence of stabile soliton solution even in chiral limit. The evaluated static properties of nucleons (masses, magnetic moments, radii etc.) are in a good agreement with experimental data.
