Skyrme-Faddeev Lagrangian from reformulated Georgi-Glashow model

Abstract

Recently we proposed a decomposition for fields of the Georgi-Glashow model and interpreted Cho's decomposition as a result of some constraints on Georgi-Glashow's fields. Now, using the decomposition form that Faddeev and Niemi proposed, we introduce a simple and novel method to derive the Skyrme-Faddeev Lagrangian from the reformulation of the Georgi-Glashow model with an extra constraint. As we showed before, this extra constraint leads to appearance of both vortices and monopoles.
