Skyrmion stabilizer and collective-coordinate orbit
ID: skyrmion-stabilizer-and-collective-coordinate-orbit
For a centered static Skyrmion , the effective rotation-isorotation group is . Its stabilizer subgroup consists of pairs obeying . Thus distinct rigid orientations form the homogeneous space , by the orbit-stabilizer theorem. The unit hedgehog has diagonal stabilizer and three orientation coordinates; the toroidal two-Skyrmion has a one-dimensional continuous stabilizer and five; the tetrahedral and cubic cases have discrete stabilizers and six. Adding three translations gives zero-mode orbit dimensions 6, 8, 9, 9. These are symmetry-generated low-energy coordinates, not a claim that non-Bogomolny multi-Skyrmion solutions possess an exact flat moduli space of arbitrary separations.
