# Coriolis terms in Skyrmion Quantization

## TL;DR

This paper introduces a new formalism for quantizing Skyrmions that accounts for interactions between vibrations and zero modes, improving the modeling of nuclear properties of Helium-4 and Lithium-7/Beryllium-7.

## Contribution

A novel formalism incorporating vibrational-zero mode interactions in Skyrmion quantization, inspired by principal bundle methods.

## Key findings

- Quantized B=4 and B=7 Skyrmions with the new approach
- Results align better with observed nuclear properties
- Enhanced understanding of Skyrmion dynamics

## Abstract

We consider the problem of quantizing a Skyrmion which is allowed to vibrate, rotate and isorotate. Previous approaches have neglected the interactions between vibrations and zero modes (analogous to so-called Coriolis terms in the molecular physics literature). A new formalism incorporating these interactions is introduced, inspired by a principal bundle approach to deformable-body dynamics. We quantize the B=4 and B=7 Skyrmions and compare the results to observed nuclear properties of Helium-4 and the Lithium-7/Beryllium-7 isospin doublet.
