The theory contains just one new parameter and it reduces to the standard Skyrme model when this symmetry breaking parameter vanishes. The same Faddeev-Bogomolny energy bound applies for all parameter values, but the parameter can be tuned so that the energy of the single Skyrmion is much closer to the bound than in the standard Skyrme model. Applying the rational map approximation to multi-Skyrmions suggests that, for a suitable value of the symmetry breaking parameter, binding energies in this theory may be significantly more realistic than in the standard Skyrme model.","PeriodicalId":49453,"journal":{"name":"Symmetry Integrability and Geometry-Methods and Applications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46700573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Phys. A 37 (2004), 433-440, arXiv:hep-th/0304092]. The technical difficulties due to the breaking of $mathsf{U}(1)$ symmetry and the absence of a reference state are overcome by an algebraic construction where the two-boundary Temperley-Lieb Hamiltonian is realised in a new $U_{mathfrak{q}}mathfrak{sl}_2$-invariant spin chain involving infinite-dimensional Verma modules on the edges [J. High Energy Phys. 2022 (2022), no. 11, 016, 64 pages, arXiv:2207.12772]. The equivalence of the two Hamiltonians is established by proving Schur-Weyl duality between $U_{mathfrak{q}}mathfrak{sl}_2$ and the two-boundary Temperley-Lieb algebra. In this framework, the Nepomechie condition turns out to have a simple algebraic interpretation in terms of quantum group fusion rules.","PeriodicalId":49453,"journal":{"name":"Symmetry Integrability and Geometry-Methods and Applications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46274971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use the index of a pair of projections and the Cayley transform to define topological indices for chiral unitaries on both Hilbert spaces and Hilbert $C^*$-modules. In the case of the discrete time evolution of a Hamiltonian-like operator, we relate the index for chiral unitaries to the index of the Hamiltonian.
