Cubic rational-map ansatz for four Skyrmions

ID: cubic-rational-map-ansatz-for-four-skyrmions

This degree-four rational map obeys and . These pair the generators of the rotational symmetry group of a cube with target rotations, giving combined spatial-isospin symmetry in the Skyrme model. Its spatial half-turn kernel is a Klein four-group. The map gives a cubic four-Skyrmion approximation; preserving only its Wronskian zero set does not guarantee the same rotational symmetry.
