Description

In the present talk I will describe the first analytic example of a gravitating Skyrmion of unit Baryonic charge in General Relativity minimally coupled to Skyrme model in (3+1) dimensions. I will describe the remarkable properties of this analytic solution and how such gravitating soliton gave rise to the first analytic solutions with non-vanishing Baryonic charge of the Skyrme model on flat space-times (clarifying why it is easier to solve the Einstein-Skyrme field equations rather than the Skyrme equations alone). At the end, I will describe the explicit construction of Euclidean wormholes of Baryonic charge 1 in the Euclidean version of Einstein Skyrme theory and their interpretation as Instantons of the theory
