The Skyrme model : curved space, symmetries and mass

The presented thesis contains research on topological solitons in (2+1) and (3+1) dimensional classical field theories, focusing upon the Skyrme model. Due to the highly non-linear nature of this model, we must consider various numerical methods to find solutions. We initially consider the (2+1) bab...
