The authors present a general method for calculating the interaction energy of two solitons using the semiclassical, collective coordinate quantization method. The result also has a simple geometrical interpretation. They apply their result in several models, and obtain the expressions for the interaction energy. In particular, they use their method to derive the effective interaction energy of two solitons of Skyrme model. Because the solitons of the Skyrme model can be used to model (in the first approximation) the real world baryons, the interactin energy of two solitons can then be interpreted as an approximation to a two-body nuclear force.
