Centrifugal effects in Skyrmeons

We give a qualitative discussion of centrifugal effects in the Skyrme model and methods for treating these effects. We show that there may be states in the spectrum which would not appear in a semiclassical expansion about the static soliton solution. We consider semiclassical expansions about static solutions and about uniformly-rotating solutions, and discuss the validity and limitations of both approaches. 11 references
