Geometry of Gauged Skyrmions

A work of Manton showed how skymions may be viewed as maps between Riemannian manifolds minimising an energy functional, with topologically non-trivial global minimisers given precisely by isometries. We consider a generalisation of this energy functional to gauged skyrmions, valid for a broad class...

description A work of Manton showed how skymions may be viewed as maps between Riemannian manifolds minimising an energy functional, with topologically non-trivial global minimisers given precisely by isometries. We consider a generalisation of this energy functional to gauged skyrmions, valid for a broad class of space and target 3-manifolds where the target is equipped with an isometric -action. We show that the energy is bounded below by an equivariant version of the degree of a map, describe the associated BPS equations, and discuss and classify solutions in the cases where = U(1) and = SU(2).
