Vibrational modes of massive Skyrmions within the rational map Ansatz

In this thesis, we study the vibrational modes of some Skyrmion solutions within the rational map approximation. When the Skyrme field is perturbed around a static solution, the radial and angular vibrations of the field are decoupled; this gives us two sets of eigenvalue equations that provide us t...
