[HTML][HTML] Cooking pasta with Lie groups

SL Cacciatori, F Canfora, M Lagos, F Muscolino… - Nuclear Physics B, 2022 - Elsevier
We extend the (gauged) Skyrme model to the case in which the global isospin group (which
usually is taken to be SU (N)) is a generic compact connected Lie group G. We analyze the …

Crystals of gauged solitons, force-free plasma, and resurgence

G Barriga, F Canfora, M Torres, A Vera - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We show that the (3+ 1)-dimensional gauged nonlinear sigma model minimally coupled to a
U (1) gauge field possesses analytic solutions representing gauged solitons at finite baryon …

[HTML][HTML] On the robustness of solitons crystals in the Skyrme model

G Barriga, F Canfora, M Lagos, M Torres, A Vera - Nuclear Physics B, 2022 - Elsevier
In this work we analize how the inclusion of extra mesonic degrees of freedom affect the
finite density solitons crystals of the Skyrme model. In particular, the first analytic examples of …
