Skyrmions, Topology and Instantons
(joint seminar with UJ and UAM)
Skyrmions are solitons in three space dimensions, constructed from a nonlinear pion field. I will discuss their basic properties, including their topological stability, and show examples. Instantons are solitons in four space dimensions, constructed from an SU(2) gauge field. I will show how Skyrmions can be approximated in terms of exact instantons, and instantons can be approximated in terms of exact Skyrmions.
