Description
We construct brane solutions in 6-dimensional Einstein-Skyrme systems. A class of baby-Skyrmion solutions realizes warped compactification of the extra dimensions and gravity localization on the brane for the negative bulk cosmological constant. Coupling of the fermions with brane Skyrmions leads to brane localized fermions. In terms of the level crossing picture, emergence of the massive localized modes are observed. The nonlinear nature of Skyrmions brings richer information for the fermions' level structure. It comprises doubly degenerate lowest plus single excited modes. Three generations of fundamental fermions are associated with this distinctive structure. The mass hierarchy of quarks or leptons appeared in terms of slightly deformed baby Skyrmions with topological charge three.
