Discussion of twisted-toroidal Hopf solitons.
Potential new soliton configurations in gauge theories.
Abstract
We observe that the Faddeev-Skyrme model emerges as a low-energy limit of scalar QED with two charged scalar fields and a selfinteraction potential of a special form (inspired by supersymmetric QCD). Then we discuss possible Hopf solitons of the "twisted-toroidal" type.
