Helical buckling of Skyrme-Faddeev solitons
Abstract
Solitons in the Skyrme-Faddeev model on R2xS1 are shown to undergo buckling transitions as the circumference of the S1 is varied. These results support a recent conjecture that solitons in this field theory are well-described by a much simpler model of elastic rods.
