Description

We analyse the effect of the canonical quantization of the rotational mode of the O(3)σ-model which includes the Skyrme term. Numerical evidence is presented that the quantum correction to the mass of the rotationally-invariant charge n=1,2 configurations may stabilize the solution even in the limit of vanishing potential. The corresponding range of values of the parameters is discussed.
