Backreacted Coulomb energy in the Skyrme model by Sven Bjarke Gudnason, James Martin Speight

“…In particular, we study Skyrmions with baryon numbers B = 4, 8, 12, 16 and 40. We find, in agreement with physical expectations, that the Coulomb backreaction is most pronounced for large Skyrmions and find furthermore that the dynamics of the theory is more sensitive to the backreaction than the ground states (global minimizers of the energy). …”
