Soliton interaction in the Skyrme model

It is shown that in the SU(2) Skyrme model spherically symmetric solitons with baryon number Bgreater than or equal to2 are classically unstable to axial perturbations. The interaction energy of two identical solitons with B = 1 is calculated for separations between their topological centers greater than or equal to0.6 F. The resulting picture of the interaction differs qualitatively from that obtained using the factorization ansatz.
