“No conclusive results are available yet; the hope⟳ is that the skyrmion would be stabilized at R#92;approx#92;lambda#95;c, where the gradient expansion breaks down and yet the skyrmion may still carry⟳ the quark quantum numbers.”

“The properties of nuclear matter⟳ at high densities have⟳ been investigated in many ways. Castillejo et al. studied Skyrmion matter⟳ by placing SU(2) hedgehog Skyrmions on a lattice and show⟳ that the deconfinement phase transition and the chiral symmetry restoration occur⟳ above a critical density [11].”
