RT Journal Article T1 BPS submodels of the Skyrme model A1 Adam, Christoph A1 Sánchez Guillén, José Joaquín A1 Wereszczynski, Andrzej AB We show that the standard Skyrme model without pion mass term can be expressed as a sum of two BPS submodels, i.e., of two models whose static field equations, independently, can be reduced to first order equations. Further, these first order (BPS) equations have nontrivial solutions, at least locally. These two submodels, however, cannot have common solutions. Our findings also shed some light on the rational map approximation. Finally, we consider certain generalisations of the BPS submodels.
