Skvrmions up to baryon number 108

The Skyrme crystal is built up of repeating units similar to the cubic Skyrmion of baryon number 4. Using this as a guide, we construct new Skyrmion solutions in the massive-pion case, with various baryon numbers up to 108. Most of our solutions resemble chunks of the Skyrme crystal.

Zusammenfassung:The Skyrme crystal is built up of repeating units similar to the cubic Skyrmion of baryon number 4. Using this as a guide, we construct new Skyrmion solutions in the massive-pion case, with various baryon numbers up to 108. Most of our solutions resemble chunks of the Skyrme crystal. They are constructed using a multilayer version of the rational map ansatz to create initial configurations, which are then relaxed numerically to find the energy minima. The coefficients of the rational maps are found by a geometrical construction related to the Skyrme crystal structure. We find some further solutions by numerical relaxation of clusters composed of baryon number 4 Skyrmions.
