Abstract:

This paper discusses multi-Skyrmions on the 3-sphere [iopmath latex="$S^3$"] S³ [/iopmath] with variable radius L using the rational map ansatz. For baryon number [iopmath latex="$B = 3, \ldots, 9$"] B = 3,...,9 [/iopmath] this ansatz produces the lowest-energy solutions known so far. By considering the geometry of the model we find an approximate analytic formula for the shape function. This provides an insight into why Skyrmions have a shell-like structure.
