Abstract: Firstly, we consider Yang-Mills theory on ${mathbbR}^{3,1}$ with an adjoint Higgs field spontaneously breaking a compact gauge group $G$ to a subgroup $H$, so that the Higgs vacuum manifold forms the coset $G/H$. It is shown that in the low-energy limit, when the Higgs vacuum value is large, the 4d Yang-Mills-Higgs theory reduces to the Faddeev sigma model on ${mathbbR}^{3,1}$ with $G/H$ as target. Its action contains the standard two-derivative sigma-model term as well as the four-derivative Skyrme-type term, which stabilizes solutions against scaling. Secondly, we put the Higgs field in the bi-fundamental representation of $G=extrm{U}_{+}(N)imesextrm{U}_{-}(N)$, realizing the simplest $A_2$-type quiver gauge theory. Breaking $G$ to $H=,extrmdiag(G)$, the vacuum manifold $G/HcongextrmU(N)$ is a group. In this case, when the Higgs vacuum value is large, the 4d $A_2$-quiver gauge theory reduces to the Skyrme sigma model on ${mathbbR}^{3,1}$ with U$(N)$ as target. Thus, both the Skyrme and the Faddeev model arise as effective field theories in the infrared of Yang-Mills-Higgs models.
