Harmonic maps, SU (N) Skyrme models and Yang-Mills theories

This thesis examines the construction of static solutions of (3+l)-dimensional SU{N) Skyrme models, usual and alternative, and pure massive SU(N) Yang-Mills theories. In particular, the application of harmonic maps from S(^2) into the subspace of fields configuration space M. Here, the harmonic maps...
