Description

The status of the H-dibaryon in the SU(3) Skyrme model is reconsidered by taking the Casimir energy of the relevant B=2 soliton into account. Since the negative Casimir-energy corrections for the B=2 configuration are much smaller than the corresponding ones for two isolated B=1 systems a strongly bound H-dibaryon is excluded and a slightly bound one unlikely.
