Wess-Zumino Terms for the Deformed Skyrme Model
Abstract
A formulation of Skyrme model as an embedded gauge theory with the constraint deformed away from the spherical geometry is proposed. The gauge invariant formulation is obtained firstly generalizing the intrinsic geometry of the model and then converting the constraint to first-class through an iterative Wess-Zumino procedure. The gauge invariant model is quantized via Dirac method for first-class system. A perturbative calculation provides new free parameters related to deformation that improve the energy spectrum obtained in earlier approaches.
