Review text

The author constructs the gauged Skyrme model by introducing the skyrmion bundle as follows: instead of considering maps \(U: M\to \text{SU}_{N_F}\) he thinks of the meson fields as of global sections in a bundle \(B(M,\text{SU}_{N_F},G)=P(M,G)\times_G \text{SU}_{N_F}\). For calculations within the skyrmion bundle the author introduces by means of the so-called equivariant cohomology an analogue of the topological charge and the Wess-Zumino term. The final result of this paper is the following Theorem. For the skyrmion bundle with \(N_F\leq 6\), one has \[ H^{*}(EG\times_G \text{SU}_{N_F})\cong H^{*}(\text{SU}_{N_F})^G \cong \text{S}({\underline G}^{*})\otimes H^{*}(\text{SU}_{N_F}) \cong H^{*}(BG)\otimes H^{*}(\text{SU}_{N_F}), \] where \(EG(BG,G)\) is the universal bundle for the Lie group \(G\) and \(\underline G\) is the Lie algebra of \(G\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0866.00050].
