Description

The profile functions of the SU(3) Skyrme soliton are investigated for the octet, decuplet, and antidecuplet baryons by the mean field approach. In this approach, the profile functions are affected by the spatial rotation, the flavor rotation, and the flavor symmetry breaking. The solitons are stable only in the restricted areas of the parameter space for each multiplet. When the flavor symmetry breaking is large, the area for the antidecuplet is narrow compared to those for the octet and decuplet. The parameters are determined by the baryon mass spectrum, and the deformation of the soliton has sizable effects on the masses
