Resumo

Properties of SU(2) and SU(2)/U(1) solitons are investigated in the Skyrme model. The skyrmion with higher topological charges is shown to exhibit shell-like structures along with its curious charge-energy relationship. It is also shown that some proposed toroidal solitons are not admitted by the model, which however allows an open-vortex type solution and its large-torus approximation.
