We review the theoretical developments and conceptual advances that stemmed from the
generalization of QCD to the limit of a large number of color charges, originally proposed by't …

Solitons emerge in various non-linear systems as stable localized configurations, behaving
in many ways like particles, from non-linear optics and condensed matter to nuclear physics …

What is a particle? Is it pointlike, or does it have a finite size? How does a particle exert
forces on other particles, and are these forces affected by the particle's finite size? What is …

We compute the gravitational form factor D (t) of various nuclei in the generalized Skyrme
model where nuclei are described as solitonic field configurations each with a definite …

A bstract We study static solutions of the standard Skyrme model with a pion mass. Using
approximately 10 5 pseudo-random initial configurations made of single Skyrmions in the …

Nuclear binding energies are investigated in two variants of the Skyrme model: the first
replaces the usual Skyrme term with a term that is sixth order in derivatives, and the second …

Skyrmion crystals are the field configurations which minimize the energy per baryon in the
infinitely large topological charge sector of the Skyrme model, at least for sufficiently high …

The crystalline structure of nuclear matter is investigated in the standard Skyrme model with
massive pions. A semi-analytic method is developed to determine local minima of the static …

In this work we explore the relationship between two ideas recently introduced in the
literature. The first one deals with a quantity related to the informational contents of solutions …
