Skyrme and Faddeev models in the low-energy limit of 4d Yang–Mills–Higgs theories
Firstly, we consider U(Nc) Yang–Mills gauge theory on R3,1 with Nf>Nc flavours of scalar fields in the fundamental representation of U(Nc). The moduli space of vacua is the Grassmannian manifold Gr(Nc,Nf). It is shown that for strong gauge coupling this 4d Yang–Mills–Higgs theory reduces to the F...
